After a brief overview of all the different techniques&amp;nbsp;of ways of fastening strings of yarn together, like&amp;nbsp;tying, knotting, crocheting, knitting, weaving, etc, we visited &amp;nbsp;the local weaving crafts society.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17784\" alt=\"_MG_2540\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MG_2540.gif\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>This is a bridal blanket. It was carried over the bridal couples arms on the way to the church to, and later it would decorate a wall in their new home. The colors and patterns are traditional for Voss.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17785\" alt=\"_MG_2562\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MG_2562.gif\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>Another traditional blanket that was much used is this fleeced rug. It was used &amp;nbsp;by fishers as a blanket onboard the boats, and was a warm and valued piece.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17786\" alt=\"_MG_2568\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MG_2568.gif\" width=\"350\" height=\"525\"><\/p>\n<p>A more modern weave, this is a table runner.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17793\" alt=\"_MG_2573\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MG_2573.gif\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>Jon \u00c5. Pettersen lectured about jaquard weaving, and showed some of his stunning designs in pure silk. Some made for the traditional national costume, others for contemporary use. It was so interesting to learn of the way he worked with restoring old patterns and old textiles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17787\" alt=\"_MG_2575\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MG_2575.gif\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>Next on the agenda was card-weaving. Some of the national costumes (bun ads) in Telemark have bands and belts made in this technique, as seen above.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17788\" alt=\"_MG_2576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MG_2576.gif\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>This is an old card-woven belt, so worn it\u00b4s falling apart. But still quite stunning!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17789\" alt=\"_MG_2581\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MG_2581.gif\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>The last time I did any card-weaving was 25 years ago! If you\u00b4ve ever wanted to try weaving, starting with cards might be a good idea. You can make some pretty cool things very soon, and you don\u00b4t need all that much equipment. All you need are the cards, and those you can easily make yourself.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17790\" alt=\"_MG_2579\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MG_2579.gif\" width=\"350\" height=\"525\"><\/p>\n<p>The pattern is a bit strange. I think it looks better when I put the length together, so the two halves become one symmetrical band. For this band I only used 10 cards, and the band is about 2 cm wide.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17791\" alt=\"_MG_2585\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/MG_2585.gif\" width=\"450\" height=\"255\"><\/p>\n<p>In the traditional belt you need 118 cards.&amp;nbsp;All in all I have 52 cards, so if I use the same type of yarn, I could make a belt of about 10 cm!?! Hm. It could be fun.
