I really love your cuppa and chats! This was just what I needed today to help me to stay focused on the positive. Also, during this time of social isolation, it's nice to share a coffee and chat with a faraway friend. I hope that's not too presumptuous of me, but I feel like you have become as much friend as teacher since I've signed up for your classes. Bless you Kelly; you have brought so much more than weaving into my life. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing what YOU can do with a rigid heddle loom. Really impressed. And i liked the show and tell nature of the video as well. Thanks for all you share.
I enjoyed this video format. I set you up on my iPad next to my loom and made myself a cup of tea. I applaud your passion for sharing your knowledge. All the included links are a great bonus. I’ve been getting ready to tackle my first overshot project on my floor loom. Maybe I’ll wind my warp tonight!
Love the cuppa and talk. The class is amazingly well done as always. It's so nice to have options of weaving on a rigid heddle loom that mirror multi-shaft looms.
I've just joined your classes: they are wonderful! I hadn't woven for nearly half my lifetime, and I definitely needed the reminders! XD I haven't done a quilt before - I used to weave with my mum but we only did placemats and the like; but now I'm doing an experiment where I will make my own clothes using fabric I wove myself. Eventually. Weaving is a lot more complicated than I remember. XD I am also trying to find an Australian supplier of cotton and linen and dyes, which is also a lot harder than I remember it being.
I can help with Aussie suppliers- For weaving yarns (all kinds)- www.threadcollective.com.au For thicker cottons and wools- www.bendigowoollenmills.com.au For dyes of all kinds- www.kraftkolour.net.au
Kelly I too love overshot, it just makes me happy to see the patterns emerge. Have done it on 4 and 8 shafts. Keep me warm one night is a gem! Weave on!
Thank you very much Kelly, another interesting video, it is incredible to see the versatility of the rigid heddle that allows us to even weave overshot!!!
Love this style of video. Your enthusiasm for weaving is so inspiring and your abilities are impressive. Overshot is another level of weaving and I can see it in my future.
I love your cuppa & chat style. Add that to learning something new, and it's even better. I'm a new weaver, just started this year (thanks to covid, lol) and am so excited to learn about what my little 70cm RH loom can do! Thank you for all your work and willingness to share.
Loved both the style and the content of this video! By a complete accident, at a thrift shop I stumbled onto one of the coveted American Coverlet books you mentioned. It felt as though I had won the Powerball lottery. You have once again inspired me to try something new. Thank you very much 🙂
I wish I could give this more than just one thumbs-up, loved this Kelly, wonderful style and nice and long😁 You have reignited my overshot obsession and I have been enjoying the class in snippets ( being a Gold member is so worth it! ). I was grateful that you included books and other references. My ultimate goal is to manage overshot on 3 heddles so I will need, to learn how this is accomplished. I have no coverlet dreams, my eyes cannot handle that level of threading. My passion for overshot began with a scarf pattern that Yarn Barn Kansas had offered 3 years ago but I sadly didn’t buy the kit as I was too new to weaving. They used a variegated ( just like your rainbow yarns) warp and solid wefts I think. I have written to them about getting the pattern if possible. All your samples are beautiful and I really like that all white towel but 8 shafts is not happening for me. Happy weaving and thank you 💕
I loved this video!! I loved how you picked a topic and told all about it, the length was really good too. Im a new weaver, been doing it a week maybe? But love it so much. Thanks for the content
Thank you, Kelly, for this chat video on overshot. It is beautiful! I’m probably a year away from getting to that level, I have just learned one heddle and a heddle rod....lol. My next purchase is a 12 heddle and then I can start doubling the heddles I have. Currently learning krokbragd. Your scarf looks really nice for Christmas gifts. May give that a go. Thank you!.
I love the idea of making an overshot coverlet but that will need to wait for a future project. However I’ve been wanting to make a larger woven blanket and you’ve given me some great ideas from this video and the video on joining handwoven fabric. Thanks for the inspiration.
I loved this video, I am really keen to try this, not too sure wether to go for a very small table loom as I am so obsessed with this type of pattern, I am looking at the Louët Erica but now you are making me think it might be possible on my rigid Heddle loom. You are great
It is definitely easier to set up on a multi shaft loom (like a table loom) but not everyone can afford another loom, or have the space for one. So, it's great to have other options 😊
Kelly: LOVED the video and the style of this video. And I'm so excited about the overshot videos - looking forward to both the rigid heddle overshot and the floor loom overshot. I've loved coverlets and overshot for a long time but have been afraid that I wouldn't get the tabby right. With your always excellent instruction, I know I'll finally understand it and will finally be able to pursue my dream of doing overshot. I have an old coverlet that was given to me by a family member. They don't know much about it but I've always dreamt of making something like it on my own. Now I'll be able to, thanks to your hard work and your wonderful videos and classes!
@@KellyCasanova: Unfortunately, no, there are no dates or initials, so no way to date the age or where it came from. I would need to take to an antiques expert, I suppose, to figure this out.
I love this chatty style of video Kelly! Yes, please do more of them when you get the time! I've not heard of American coverlet before, so it will be interesting to delve into the history of them. I've not tried overshot yet on my RH or 4 shaft, but I'm very tempted to give it a go when your class is released. I'm having a weaving day today, currentlybworking on sampling colours for my next prayer shawl. Maybe one day, you would create a pattern for a prayer shawl!?!
Thinking of starting to weave due to my love of coverlets that are made near my hometown at Family Heirloom Weavers in Red Lion, Pennsylvania. You should definitely check them out if you love coverlets. ☺️
I have two overshot classes, one for rigid heddle loom- kelly-casanova-weaving-lessons.teachable.com/p/overshot-on-a-rigid-heddle-loom/?preview=logged_out And floor loom- kelly-casanova-weaving-lessons.teachable.com/p/overshot-on-a-floor-loom/?preview=logged_out
I really like this "talking and sharing" video. Well, actually I like all your videos! I too am probably about a year away from this type of weaving. After Christmas gifts are complete I do want to work your two heddle class. Blessings
Wow those samplers are very pretty! One day I will get to explore this technique. I to have considered a coverlet. I was thinking about using scrap yarn 🧶 for it , and do like a large form of the samplers if you will. Just play with different patterns . I think 🤔 I figured up I would need five panels using the full width of my 32 in RH for my king size bed. I have to finish all the Christmas orders first 😂 . I really enjoyed this video. Thank you 🙏
It's a traditional overshot pattern called Cat's Tracks and Snails Trails - also known as Wandering Vine. I'm sure Cassie would have woven it, it's a classic 😊
Yes, Kelly, an interesting and enjoyable chat! 💞 Thank you. I have a question about overshot on the rigid heddle. Will your class be suitable for someone whose never worked with two heddles before? I have two 8 dent heddles because I’ve always wanted to try working with two heddles, but I haven’t yet because...well, just because I haven’t been able to screw up my courage enough to do so. But if you think your overshot class would be ok, I’d really like to take it and not only accomplish double heddle weaving, but also overshot weaving. Your samples are beautiful. (Also, I love that you have a photo of Mother Teresa on the wall.)
Bonnie, I think the class would be too complex if you haven't worked with two heddles before. It is an advanced class and the threading takes a bit of doing! Have you tried my Weaving with Two Heddles class? That would be a more suitable place to start. Yes, I love Mother Teresa ❤️ My sister in law is a nun with the Missionaries of Charity order, which was Mother Teresa's order 😊
Hello Kelly, are you familiar with the Open Library? You can read e-books about weaving. It's an open source library, so there are no costs. For example, the book about coverlets by Carol Strickler is available as an e-book. But also other titles about the subject. I was taken by your enthusiasme about colonial american coverlets and couldn't find many titles to buy in my country(the Netherlands). An other weaver on Facebook tipt me this library. Maybe it can help you too. Kind greetings, Suzanne
I found some pattern drafts from my ancestor weaving in Pennsylvania in 1760's an 1770's but they are not written in modern style. Several have names that include "coverlit". Might you be interested in helping decifer the patterns?
I own one. In fact I went and collected it. Now all I need to do is check I still have all the bits! I have my reeds (result) the 8 shaft loom but I fear I’m missing things like the pins to hold the beater or worried my threading hook will be too fat. I know I didn’t see my autodenter. I will say id seen a fair bit on overshot but somehow missed the needing a tabby between. Same for waffle weave. Explains why mine failed so bad.

I'm glad you like it!
Great video Kelly! Thanks for intro to Cassie Dixon. Just watched one of her videos .... wow!
She is so inspiring!
Can’t wait to try it!

@@KellyCasanova: Unfortunately, no, there are no dates or initials, so no way to date the age or where it came from. I would need to take to an antiques expert, I suppose, to figure this out.
I'm going to try two shaft with a pickup stick in the front of the heddle freeform overshot. Should be fun!
It sure will be fun!

Bom dia Kelly...quero aprender esses detalhes, posta vídeos o passo a passo
I have two overshot classes, one for rigid heddle loom-

And floor loom-

Kelly, very interesting. I love overshot. I have a 4S counterbalance loom but to see it done on an RH loom looks very interesting.
Love this format, KC
Thanks for the feedback!
Great to enjoy morning coffee with you !
Thanks for joining me! ☕️
I really like this "talking and sharing" video. Well, actually I like all your videos! I too am probably about a year away from this type of weaving. After Christmas gifts are complete I do want to work your two heddle class. Blessings
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement Linda ❤️
That’s a really nice pattern. It reminds me of ancient cave/rock drawings. I’m definitely going to take this class.
And there are so many other overshot patterns too, it's so varied!
Loved this. I am going to be recovering from knee replacement surgery soon and looking for ways to stay sane in the next few months.
I hope your surgery is a success!
Very good video. 👍
Thanks for watching Kevin! 😀

That sounds lovely. Yes, there are so many things to weave!
Love your talks! Have you seen the "Crazyshot" overshot books for rigid heddle by Myrna Wood?
Yes, I have both of her Crazyshot books, they are awesome 😊
14:30 is that the Cassie Dickson pattern? it looks similar to what is on her website - intricate patterns in neutral colors.
It's a traditional overshot pattern called Cat's Tracks and Snails Trails - also known as Wandering Vine. I'm sure Cassie would have woven it, it's a classic 😊
Kelly, do you have a video on overshot with the rigid heddle loom? I've seen the one for the 4-shaft loom.
I have a rigid heddle overshot class here-

Thank you! My dilemma was can i use cotton warp and wool weft together in overshot? Now ijust have to decide on a pattern.
That is the traditional way! Also a linen warp was used with a woollen pattern weft, but that was generally before cotton became readily available.
Oh boy a new class 👏👏👏. ❤️ the chat. 🕊
😄

Bonjour.
Svp j'ai besoin de ces livres ,comment puis-je y arriver .
Merci .
You may be able to find the books on Amazon.
One of my most used overshot pattern books is "Weaving Designs By Bertha Gray Hayes: Miniature Overshot Patterns"
I've wondered about that book when I've seen it online. Good to know it's so useful to you 😊
I found some pattern drafts from my ancestor weaving in Pennsylvania in 1760's an 1770's but they are not written in modern style. Several have names that include "coverlit". Might you be interested in helping decifer the patterns?
Sure, if I can!
How can I get a copy to you?
@@cathywismer2254 kelly@kellycasanovaweavinglessons.com
I love the picture of Mother Teresa on your wall!
She is my hero ❤️
I’m hoping to do overshot but I only want to use one heddle. I should really use a table loom.
You can do it with one heddle, you would just need 2 heddle rods and a pick up stick. A table loom is great for overshot 😊
I own one. In fact I went and collected it. Now all I need to do is check I still have all the bits! I have my reeds (result) the 8 shaft loom but I fear I’m missing things like the pins to hold the beater or worried my threading hook will be too fat. I know I didn’t see my autodenter.
