Bathroom Hand Towels

The towels featured in this post are designed by Arianna E. Funk with access through Gist Yarn.

I will always be willing to support Arianna Funk’s patterns. Every one that I make turns out beautifully and are really fun to weave!

Fall is a beautiful time of year for me. I have always found it odd that it is the time of year everything dies. It seems as though spring should be the beautiful part with everything bursting with life. However perhaps it is equally important for things to have a chance to die off so that new growth can occur and also for some things to hibernate for a season. Regardless of the reasoning, it is a happy time of year to me and absolutely worth filling with happy activities such as weaving.

These projects are such a joy to me that they bring me energy into the dark evening hours after the kids have gone to sleep which means I can finish them faster than when I am slogging through something and exhausted in the evenings.

These hand towels will find their home in a hall bathroom. It is a set of three hand towels – each a unique variation of the same theme. Enjoy!

Shadow Weave Blanket

It brings me joy how unique weaving is. And even when everything is planned, a fiber can still surprise you. I have worked with Gist’s Mallo a number of times (because I love the way it turns out) and so I have paid attention to the shrinkage with the way that I wet finish. This one though (that was going to be an oversized shawl) shrunk so much less than anticipated that it made a cozy blanket!
