Loopweaving in green
My personal offering of green. To create a rhythm within I developed a method of working with yarn called Loopweaving, (developed 10 years ago a “how-to” guide will be published this summer – for those interested lol) . Loopweaving relaxes one while you create textures and patterns turning them into shapes and containers of all sizes and colors, cool, huh!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the color green.
Have a great day!

Beautiful and soothing photos, Penny! Happy belated St. Paddy’s Day! π
You also Lauren, Green is always a good thing regardless of the day! π
I bet you could apply the loop weave to cut strips of recycled plastic bags too. Though it is a pain to cut the strips in a long continuous line (I always get that extra fold when I cut from side to side leaving the one edge to connect the strip)…I’ve tried crocheting the plastic to make doormat type rugs. I know a gal who made a sort of rain hat and a pocket book too out of recycling plastic bags.
I have a rag rug made by one of my grandmothers…basically just braided then stitched together.
I’d be interested in the how to.
I actually did try it with strips of plastic bags (I do dislike them so, for their artificially and for the incredible damage/death they cause to the living eco-sphere of our planet!) and you’re right it was very time consuming to cut into those lengths you spoke of. Still trying to come up with a better way to transform the plastic bags into a workable medium. Thanks for the interest Jules.
I wonder if the plastic could be shredded like sheep or other animal hair and then spun? I just read an article about a bunch of folks who actually spin and use dog hair. I know there are ribbon cutters that shred pretty fine, but you would still have to cut strips first and I’m not sure if the pull or shredding would pull the plastic too much.
I’ve actually been crocheting a bunch of scarves this winter out of ‘garage sale’ and other odd batches of yarn. Toasty and colorful.
Too cool on your making scarves this winter from ‘garage sale yarn. Definitely toasty. That’s an interesting idea re: the shredding. Something to think about the “how to make it work”! π
Want one? E-mail me, I might just have one in your favorite colors!
I made one that was mostly red and blues with a had to match and gave it to a collection for Vets – they were looking for coats, but I didn’t have any extras.
Thank you jules, that is very nice of you. I am very happy to say that winter has passed us by up here in the northeastern part of Washington, usa, it is staying in the 50’s-60’s right now, so scarf wearing is over thank goodness, maybe for next winter through! π
They’ll be packed up and just waiting for good homes. I’ve put some in a consignment type store, but I haven’t checked to see if they have sold. One of my scarves actually made it to an Island off of your shores…Vashon? That could just be a town on the island and not the island itself.
Hubby sometimes travels to Washington State…we’re in SW PA and winter is a hanging on.
It is an islandI a great one actually with an excellent view of things! I lived in State College, PA for a few years (Penn State University) Center of the state, as you know, so am familiar with the winters there! Sorry! π
I like the four seasons here. Actually in SW, PA we don’t get a whole lot of snow being on the south west side of the mountains. Well except for that blizzard in ’96…
With that said…Oh, great and wise mage…Can you call forth the sun!!! π
I’ll get right on it! lol
Beautiful pictures Penny. Green is known to be a restful colour and very good for the emotions. I certainly love it. xx
Thanks Ruth, I agree green is a restful color. One of my favorites too! xo
Wonderful depictions of green…
Thank you bulldog. Green is a glorious color isn’t it! π
Wonderful pictures, Penny! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
A smidge late on this Sharla, hope your St. Patrick’s day was the best ever, my friend! π
Great post and gorgeous pics. Reminded me of the green associated with St. Patrick’s Day parades. I’m not Irish but I love the spectacle and fun
I also, same reasons. We are much alike! π
π
What a wonderful collection of pictures. I don’t think you cheated with the ‘little pussy cat’ his eyes have a hint of green π
Oh, I missed the hint of green in his gorgeous eyes, thanks for pointing that out Lyn! π
You “greened” my day and brought so much joy by sharing these photos! Thank you! π
Well just excellent Ruby, glad I green’d you up lol! π
Clovers are but delicate hearts joined together aren”t they? Happy St. Patrick’s Day Penny. Love the greens too!
Thanks Leslie, Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you also!
Oh how I love thee – color green π
Happy St. Paddy’s Day to you dear Penny!
xx π π xx
Happy St. Pat’s day to you also dear friend, hope it’s being a stupendous one for you and your family RoSy! π xo
AnElephantCant go away
Without admitting he just loves your pics
He sighs a big sigh
Brushes hair from his eye
And admits that you knocked him for six
Thank you! how very surreptitious of you! Greatly appreciated, however! π xx
AnElephantCant say he’s a fan
Of St Paddy’s when everyone’s frisky
Although he loves green
And the occasional colleen
It promotes the wrong spelling of whisky!
And he’s clever with his words, always a good thing! π
Great post again Penny. Had to be green for today
Of course it did Alastair, Happy St. Pat’s day to you, hope yours has been a good one for you! π
π Think I shall drink to the Irish with a beer. I was going to put some Irish jokes on my blog, but that probably wouldn’t have gone down too well.
There you go. Re: the jokes, probably a good thing you didn’t π
Yes, one person’s humour is another person’s insult.
Although it is good to laugh at oneself. One thing I work on myself a lot (i.e. blonde jokes)! π
go green go yeah π
Thank you, yes definitely – Go green, I like it! π
Have a great St. Patrick’s ! Love the green post π
Thank you very much! And you also my friend, I hope St. Patrick’s day has been good for you so far! Green is wonderful, a ‘full of life’ color isn’t it! π
Happy St. Patty’s Day to you and your family. Loopweaving is cool… are you selling any of them? I’d be interested in purchasing a blue one.
What size? lol
ummm not sure… I collect small gems like amethyst, jasper, turquoise, arrow heads, things like that. Would it be sturdy enough to hold such things? Just a few… and the loopweaving looks like it would be cool to showcase them.
It would be sturdy enough. Not sure on the size, Maybe a few smaller ones and I’m thinking here that they should be blended colors of blue – various hues.. Will think some more on that. Thank you Roxi, all my love to you, Penny π xo
thanks! let me know, I’ll write a check out to you for it. all my love to you too xxxooo
