Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- Being the Third, and final, video in a series dedicated to weaving an "OverShot Gamp". This is a sample of five different over shot patterns all combined into a single piece of clothe. In this third video of the series, the project is off of the loom, has been cut into individual pieces and each piece has been hemmed.
Andy, these beautifully finished towels are the product of your genius and serendipity!
Thanks John, I am very happy with how this little project turned out.
Very interesting and intriguing, Something to help take my mind away from the damp, gloomy confines of King Charles' Belmarsh Dungeon.
Love your towels, especially enjoyed the explanation at the end of the difference in the tie up creating different patterns. Thank you for providing great teaching videos. It gives me courage to try different things.
Andy, these towels are just gorgeous and I know you put a lot of hard work making them. As you post your beautiful works of art, I seem to be learning more and more and I want to Thank you...take care and God Bless! PS the blue one is my fav, lol.
Yes Pam the blue one really does show off the pattern the best. I think it is because the dark blue provides the best contrast to the white background. I have done a small bit of rearranging in the living room, moved the embroidery that was hanging by the loom to the other side of the room, and hung that blue overshot right above the loom. You should spot it next time I do a home weaving video. Thanks, my friend, for your nice comments.
Your so very welcome Andy, have a wonderful day!
hi.. i love your u-tube films about weaving. please..what is the name of this pattern?
i loved Lee 's Surrender as well 😍
Greetings from a Dutch admiring weaver , Janneke
Hi Janneke, this pattern came from a US magazine a few years ago. The magazine is called "Hand Woven", because it is a published pattern, I can not publicly repost it. However, my email address is the same as my channel name plus "@gmail.com" so if you would like a copy of the pattern, just send me an email. I have the pattern saved on my computer as an *.dtx file (for use with the Fiberworks PCW program) I could also provide it as an *.wif file. What ever works best for you.
Thank you for your kind comments about my weaving and videos.
Andy
Please do more weaving videos. I have learned so much from watching. You are an excellent teacher and explain things in a very clear fashion. I finally "got" what a gamp is and it is fascinating how other patterns happen. Thank you for sharing.
I will be doing more weaving videos, Not to worry. Just taking a short break, trying to figure out which of several muses are inspiring me to put what onto the loom next. Should it be a Rep-Warp rug, or a Scarf, or a small woolen Lap-Blanket. Decisions, decisions.
Thank you so much for watching my videos, it really is my hope that someone enjoys and learns about weaving, and the value of cloth. Not to mention all the different ways in which one can weave so many different things. I will be back to weaving with video soon.
Thanks again.
I enjoyed watching your process and the finished towels. Lovely.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed.
Wow those overshot towels are beautiful!
These were so helpful as I try my first overshot. Thank you!!!
Beautifully made!!! All of them are awesome but I like the first green one the best.
Those are gorgeous !
the towels r beautifully made
Beautiful!
+Jenn Lubin thanks
Thank you very much, my teachers
Beautiful Andy. I’m still trying to figure out how you make the pattern in the program you use.
Fascinating overshot patterns. Amazing to see it all works out altogether. I would like to try my hand at this gamp. Is there anyway you can share the weaving drafts for each one of your primary sections? You give us the first one and the overall layout. That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience as a weaver
Is there a way Yes. But before I do that I must ask you a few questions. Do you have any weaving software, for example TempoWeave or Fiberworks, or any other program that can read an "*.WIF" file?
In order to share the pattern that would be best, and I would need your email address so that I could send you a file. Baring that, the alternative (and not as good) would be for me to print an *.pdf file of the draft and send that to you.
So I look forward to your reply, which may come here as a comment, or as an email to me, as my address is the same as my channel name at gmail dot com.
Testing
Hello Andy, i have tried replying to your feedback several times and you may have several replies from me. Sorry about that, but my replies did not show up in UA-cam comments…
@@didierrault124, mmmm, let's see, you sent one that said "testing" and another that started "Hello Andy" just after the testing one,
Hello, Andy,
A few days ago, you sent me PDFs for setting up the overshot gamp. But you also mentioned that you were using a software for your weaving. I followed suit with that suggestion and I am trying to buy such a weaving software. Now, could you please send me the WIF for the gamp overshoot project, and I am eager to try that new adventure.
Thank you so much, Andy. You have been a great help with your UA-cam videos and your personal feedbacks. Keep it up,
Didier
i hope to one day come clse to weaving something as Beautiful.
Weaving is like most other "crafts", it just takes practice, and desire, and then more practice. You CAN do it.
Thanks for your kind comment.
Luv your videos, you do a great job! Can you possibly make a video on using that software? I am interested in using the keyboard for entry which seems efficient and would like to learn more about it in general. Thanks.
awesome. just so i get it right in my own mind... you do taby in say up shed then patern then taby in down shed then pattern all the way to the end? is this right??
Did you hem the towels and then wet finish them or the reverse - wet finish then hem? How much shrinkage did you experience?
Hi Curmudgeon. I have been watching your weaving videos for the past year or so. I like your organized, logical approach to weaving. It is why I weave. I am just getting into overshot patterns and I have a question that I think you can answer. I have an overshot pattern - Mary Ann Ostander's patter from The Handweaver's Pattern Book by Marguerite Davison is the pattern. I am weaving 24 epi and want to make one full version of this pattern size 13 inches. The original pattern is only about 3" at 24 epi. I do not know how to enlarge the pattern. I need a 20" finished width at 24 epi so I need 480 ends. The full pattern is approximately 120 ends. I can't simply multiply by four because then the overshots become to large and can catch on things. I don't want four repeats of the pattern since this block is going into a coverlet that includes blocks from many people and a repeat would look strange. And to top it off, this is for my Aunt who started this friendship coverlet 20 years ago and I want to make six of her blocks for her and finish off her coverlet. She gave me the pattern and the sample block that she wove but I cannot figure out how she made one repeat of the pattern so large. Help is needed. Appreciate any advice you can give.
Hi Jennifer,
That is a lovely pattern, I made it a few years ago, before I started doing youtube videos. Depending on the thread that you are using I would probably first suggest that you cut back to only 20 epi. I used 22/2 cottolin when I did mine, that is almost the same size thread as 8/2 cotton, and I found that the 24 epi was too tight, and I ended up with a very elongated pattern.
I think that enlarging this to 20 inches wide but only one pattern repeat just won't work easily, unless you change the epi from 24 to some huge number.
Let's look closely at the pattern in the book. The right hand side of the threading is a section of 17 threads, that needs to repeat at the far left hand side to make one full repeat of the pattern. So with a single repeat at 24 epi you have a piece 3.2 inches wide. To do one repeat 20 inches wide I take 77/20=3.85 or 3.85 EPI. You will need HUGE yarn to do that, therefore, I suggest the idea of repeating the pattern.
The patten as shown in the book is 60 threads, but you need to add the 17 for the left hand side ONLY ONCE. So if I was doing it, at 20 epi and looking for about 20 inches wide total I would do the following:
20*20=400
400/60=6.67 round down to 6 repeats of pattern
6*60=360
360+17=376
376/20=18.8 inches wide
or if you go 7 repeats wide:
7*60=420
420+17=437
437(threads)/20(epi)=21.85 inches wide.
If you want to stay at 24 epi, just change all my "20"s to "24".
I know that this is a long, arithmatic filled response. If you want to go into more detail, please send me an email:

Jennifer, it looks like YT chopped off part of my long reply. If you would email me using
curmudgeon66 (at) gmail dot com
I will send you a better reply.
What size yarns did you use?
8/2 cottolin, my favorite thread!
