Best of Handwoven, A Baker's Dozen: Top Projects in Overshot eBook (Printed version)

From the publisher:

"Almost no experience in weaving can equal the thrill of placing your first pattern picks in overshot. How is it possible that only four shafts can provide so much pattern! Most of us have to weave a lot of overshot before we understand it well enough to create our own drafts and design our own pieces, but the lure to do so is irresistible. Whether you’re new to this structure or a longtime overshot fan, you’ll love weaving the projects in this collection or using them as springboards to new designs.

This seventh book in the Best of Handwoven series includes thirteen favorite projects in overshot, from tiny pieces like pincushions to scarves and placemats to a large coverlet. The use of color and materials in these projects spans the range from traditional to contemporary. You’ll find many interesting and unique design innovations, such as creating color effects in the warp and tabby weft, drafting border designs that contrast with the central field, and placing isolated inlaid motifs on a plain-weave cloth. There are enough great ideas in this book to fill your house with gloriously patterned overshot fabrics."
