New England Weavers Seminar: Bhutanese Kushutara Weaving

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on July 18, 2017October 8, 2020

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a lecture and take a two-day intensive weaving workshop last weekend at the New England Weavers Seminar held at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. The workshop, Bhutanese Kushutara Weaving, taught by Wendy Garrity, was an amazing introduction into the supplementary weft technique that I previously knew very little about….

New Free Pattern: Le Corbusier Scarf

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on April 6, 2017October 8, 2020

It is no secret I love weaving. I try to have something going on the warp at all times, usually for my own personal enjoyment, and typically a scarf as I wear them almost daily. As I mentioned in the blog post announcing the article, after completing the Handwoven Yarn Lab I began working on a…

Handwoven Nov/Dec 2016 Yarn Lab

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on October 17, 2016March 2, 2023

The latest issue of Handwoven is out, and I had the pleasure of weaving up some samples in The Fibre Co. yarns for the Yarn Lab section of the magazine. The Yarn Lab is a unique feature of each issue, where a weaver samples yarns in different stitch patterns. The parameters are pretty wide open,…

Little Looms / Water’s Edge Scarf by Kate Gagnon Osborn

Interweave recently published a special edition of their Handwoven, Easy Weaving with Little Looms. Designed to be an introduction to simple weaving projects that don’t require huge investments in equipment, the issue features designs to be worked on rigid-heddle, pin looms, and tapestry looms. While I typically enjoy the incredible detail and complicated patterning made…

Free Pattern: Voltaic Scarf

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on February 18, 2016October 8, 2020

February is the dreariest month, yes? Even the Valentine’s holiday seems to have no effect on one’s mood during this gloomy time of year. A lover of neutrals, I also have a large soft spot in my heart for bright pink, as it provides the perfect boost of color when needed most.  After weaving my…

Free Pattern: Neige Woven Scarf

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on August 31, 2015October 8, 2020

If you have taken a class with me or Courtney, or met us at an event and asked “how did you two get started with Kelbourne?” inevitably, you will hear about our backgrounds in weaving. Despite longing for a BFA or MFA, when looking into college and then grad school, I went with an ever-so-slightly more…

Handwoven for the Home

By Meghan Kelly on March 16, 2015October 8, 2020

As some of you may know, both Courtney and I have educational backgrounds in weaving – she went to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and I attended Skidmore College for my B.S. (Studio Art), and Philadelphia College of Textiles + Sciences for my M.S. in Textile Design with a Weaving Concentration.  Although our…
