A second helping of an annual towel exchange that honours the memory of Wayne Nicholson or Padre Wayne as he was known on weaving groups at Ravelry. It's been a lot of fun exchanging towels and making new friends and that was the heart of Wayne's inner light. To reach out and touch people in a light hearted way. He and I swapped towels, samples and conversations so he would have just loved this.
This time, my towel swap partner was Nari in San Francisco who sent me this lovely towel of all over Swedish lace; sett 18 epi and has an 8/2 cotton warp and cottolin weft. For a relatively new weaver she did a lovely job with nice selvedges and lovely finishing of the hems.
Nari tucked in some goodies: English Breakfast teas, a chocolate rice krispy bar and a box of Meyer Lemon Shortbread cookies from Rustic Bakery. My husband spotted those right away and so we'll be counting them out over cups of tea.
This was the 7th annual exchange at the group and there will be many more to come. The group is at Ravelry and called Woven Dishtowels . There will be another exchange next year and you have 2-3 months to weave, exchange and then post your exchange towels.
