Have you all met Debby Greenlaw before? I hope you have, but if not, you may want to read over this post where I reviewed Debby’s first book, the wonderful “Krokbragd – How to Design and Weave”.
*This post contains affiliate links. For further information, please see my disclosure policy.
I am so excited to share the news that Debby has written and released a brand new follow up krokbragd book, titled “Krokbragd Patterns”.
I am doubly excited to announce that, thanks to Debby’s generosity, one of you lucky readers will have the chance to win a personally signed copy of Krokbragd Patterns! Entry details are available at the end of this post.
I thought it the perfect time to have a chat with Debby so that you can all get to know her a little better and find out more about the new book, so grab a cup of tea and get comfy!
Thank you for taking the time to be my blog guest today 😊 Can you start by telling us a little about your weaving journey so far?
“Weaving was my entry into the wonderful world of fiber arts. I am a relatively “late bloomer” in this area, not starting the journey until I retired in 2016 after a 40+ year career as a nurse/nurse practitioner. I purchased an Ashford Sampleit loom at a local fiber festival just to see if I would like this weaving thing . . . I loved it. That lead to a floor loom, a dye garden, a spinning wheel, and eventually knitting needles and crochet hooks!”
What looms do you have and which one gets the most use?
“I have a Leclerc Nilus 4-shaft floor loom, a Kromski Harp Forte rigid heddle, and a Louët Jane 8-shaft table loom. By far the Jane gets used the most!“
You are perhaps most well known for your krokbragd weaving. What is about krokbragd that you love?
“First, I’m drawn to the Scandinavian aesthetic. My heritage says I’m German through and through, but I think there must be some Norse hidden in there. I love the simplicity of design and the color combinations of Scandinavian weaving. Krokbragd embodies both of those characteristics.”
Your first book, “Krokbragd: How to Design and Weave” had been immensely popular. What lead you to write a book all about krokbragd?
“Simply, there wasn’t a book written on the subject. In fact, several years ago, there were very limited resources available on krokbragd. I saw a social media post that said, “someone should write a book,” and I thought I can do that!”
You are just about to release your second book, “Krokbragd Patterns”. Did you decide to write a follow up book based on the feedback received from your first book? What excites you the most about this book?
“You’re absolutely correct. I received emails, comments, and even a review asking for a krokbragd pattern book.
Hmmm . . . what excites me the most. It would have to be the test weavers. Eighteen delightful women answered my request to be test weavers for the book’s projects. Seeing my designs come alive in their talented hand was so exciting. Their feedback, enthusiasm, and encouragement were invaluable to me during the designing and writing process.”
You are blessed to live in a beautiful location. How do you most enjoy spending your days? What should visitors to your region look out for as a “must do”?
“God has graciously blessed my husband and me with a beautiful place to live, a small farm in rural South Carolina. We share our space with 21 dairy goats, a mini donkey, chickens, a barn kitty, and a playful pup! There are many routine farm chores to keep up with, along with the occasional urgency/emergency. I’ve found my nurse practitioner skills translate well to farm animals! In addition to fiber arts, I also like to garden.
South Carolina is diverse in natural beauty. It is one of the smaller U.S. states but stretches from the seashore to the mountains. It is also rich in history and historical sites and gardens.”
You can find more great weaving information on Debby’s blog, Flora & Fiber. Books can be purchased through the blog, on Amazon or in selected stores.

I’m thinking that this is the answer to a commission weave that I’ve been asked to do, so having a pattern library of this type would be excellent! It looks like a fantastic resource!
Don’t see a link to enter to win.
There is no link, just by leaving a comment you have entered 😊
Duh.
I read the interview. then followed up with the Flora and Fiber link. Debby is so personable. Feel like she’s my neighbor. Even if I don’t win I’ve made a new friend. Thanks for the interview. 🙂
I’m very new to weaving. but have been interested in textiles for quite some time. I would love to add this book to my fiber library.
Thanks for the opportunity to win, Kelly.
Her work is beautiful, it I spires me.
I’m still relatively new to weaving since I bought my first loom last October. I’m hooked. So is my husband who has, a little table loom of his own. He has an engineer’s eye on design planning but I need patterns and instruction. I’ve already looked into Kelly’s class on Krokbragd and downloaded some of the instructions. That’ll be my plan for this summer. I’m thinking of setting up a table on the back deck for the warm summer evenings. 🙂
This is so nice of her to give us the chance to win a book! Like her, I am drawn to Scandinavian weaving. I recently earned basic boundweaving, but I am looking forward to learn more about krokbragd.
I’m a young weaver and I just got my first four-shaft jack loom! I have been devouring any weaving books I can get my hands on!
I am a fairly new weaver and Ian am always looking for a challenge and away to expand my skills. This looks like fun!
I would love to win this krokbragd book. Now that I am retired I have time to expand my weaving skills.
I have enjoyed your beginner course in weaving on a table loom, and I will love to try the Krokbragd technice
Wow, what an excellent giveaway ! I started weaving a couple of years ago and am just starting trying to get to grips with Krokbragd!
I would love to receive this book. I have been weaving for about 3 years as well as spinning and have never tried Krokbragd. I have read about it but not taken the plunge but I am now ready to and am looking forward to seeing all the patterns and the methodology.
Thank You
Krokbragd designs are a very new addition to my own weaving projects. I have purchased many new weaving books and looms. And added many more to my wish list. I would love to add one by Debby Greenlaw. I’ve enjoyed this chance to get a peek into your life. Thanks for your time and for sharing your love of weaving.
Krokbragd is a weaving style that I am not very skilled at. I think that’s, in part, because beautiful patterns are hard to find. I would love to work with the patterns in this book!
I am so excited about Krokbragd. I am trying to expand my weaving expertise and this book would be just the thing. for me to do just that. I so hope u will pick my name.
I’M FRO AZORES ISLAND IN THE MEADLE OF ATLANTIC OCEAN AND IS HARD TO ME FIND GOOD BOOKS TO EXPAND MY WEAVING KNOWLEDGE
As a new weaver, I would LOVE this book to help lead me along the way to discovering more ways of enjoying the art of weaving!
Thanks for sponsoring the giveaway. I have been weaving for about 2 years and have always sought out ways to expand my knowledge of the craft. As a teacher, weaving has been my happy place this past year and a half. It provides me an outlet to “get away”, create, complete projects, and make others smile with weaving gifts. I am always looking for ways to push myself and my craft. Thank you for considering me.
I truly enjoy the look of this type of weaving. I had a stroke 2 years ago and I’m finally at a point where I’m ready to learn a new skill. Winning this would give me that extra push to try!
What can I say better than I just love the patterns!
Krokbragd has inspired me to `buy my first Glimakra /floor loom and create things of beauty.
I am new to weaving but an avid knitter, crocheter and quilter. Something about the patterns reminds me of all three hobbies combined, which I love.
I learn best through books. I have been interested in learning to weave Krokbragd for some time and I know this would be the perfect resource for me to learn.
This book would be a wonderful way to feed my thirst for weaving knowledge (addiction to learning about fibre-things) and jump out of my tabby comfort zone… Thanks for this opportunity!
Just this week I started my first krokbragd project! To my surprise, in my many searches I have found very few patterns despite the many wonderful pictures I’ve seen. Thank you, Kelly, for getting me started! Some more patterns would be very helpful.
I have done some weft faced mug rugs and love them! I would love to learn more about Krokbragd and make my mug rugs even more beautiful.
I would love to win a signed copy of this book. I have never done Krokbragd but have seen many wonderful examples. I find it easier to learn “hands on” where I can see the material printed in front of me. This would be a wonderful incentive to start.
I been willing to try Krokbragd for quite some time. In mi country (Argentina) there are no related books. I follow the author blog too for inspiration. Same as you blog Kelly. I really started trying out pickup patterns on my RHL and Honeycomb thank to you inspiration and encouragment. As a self teach weaver these were a huge milestone to me. Please keep up wit your work! I’m a big fan!
I would love to win a copy of this book!! I’m fairly new to weaving and am looking for new techniques to challenge myself! I would love to have this book to start off my collection of books!
I love learning new techniques and this book will broaden my arsenal, especially with playing with more colors.
Thank you for this giveaway opportunity!
I would love to win the book because my journey is much like yours– I have just arrived to weaving (later in life…. ) – I have a 16″ Ashford, I am LOVING everything I am learning on this weaving journey. I too am of German AND Scandinavian descent- and I am very much drawn to these designs. I would love to learn more. Thank you again for the opportunity.
I really admire and love the bright colors used in Krokbragd weaving. This book will give me the motivation to give it a try. Thank you for this opportunity Kelly for someone to win such a great resource!
I have a friend who has recently discovered this form of weaving. I would love to gift this book to her.
I am a relatively new weaver and fell in love with the craft quickly. As a knitted, I was blessed to have a small stash of fiber and a friend loaned me a small table look. A new-to-me 8-shaft floor look soon followed. I have admired Krokbragd projects and would love to add these techniques to my growing repertoire.
I’ve been really expanding my weaving this past year and would love to try this technique!!
I’m a late weavering learner too. Started out with angora rabbits. Then angora goats and a fiber business, then learned to weave and would love to have this book to continue my weaving journey as Kronbragd fascinated me.
I am a fairly new weaver, but I love learning about all of the different techniques that you can do on a rigid heddle loom. I’d love to learn more about krokbragd and see the different patterns that are possible.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful book
I am a self taught weaver and. I would love to expand my knowledge
There have been some very serious health issues in the. family and coupled with the pandemic I seem to have lost my drive to weave. I think Lenny a w technique will greatly help to get me back to my happy place.
Thank you
Susan
Just wanted to add one additional thought and for which a large book of Krokbragd patterns would be just the “right medicine”: This Scandinavian weave structure has been a wonderful cure for “Pandemic Brain Disease”, both uplifting when something was needed to get through the long days, relaxing when stress levels rose, and stimulating when the brain seemed to be “on hold”. My bucket list is to play with more and more Krokbragd patterns, weaving each one up in a coaster/mug rug. Maybe once the pandemic is over (!) this will also become “Alzheimer’s Prevention” exercising both sides of the brain. I’m so glad for Debby’s resources coming into existence. Thanks!.
Just finished teaching my first Beginner Rigid Heddle class – the class ended yesterday. Some of the weavers in our guild follow patterns while others sometimes create as we go. With about 30 Weavers in our guild, what a wonderful gift the book could keep on giving if everyone could use the book…maybe that will inspire our next class. Thank you !
With the lockdown I bought a spinning wheel and a loom and now my life would not be complete without some therapeutic crafting. I would love to learn Krokbragd to add to my newly acquired weaving skills. This book looks amazing!
Having been a knitter almost all my life, this horrible pandemic caused me to want to use my “free” time to,challenge myself to learn a new fiber art. That led me to weaving. However, there is no teacher within an hour of my home so most of my learning has been through Kelly’s on line classes and books. This book would add to my ever-growing weaving knowledge base! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and beautiful work!
This style of weaving seems to be a form of storytelling and is visually exciting drawing the observer into it. As owner of book one naturally I am highly interested in book two and learn more from the Debbies extraordinary talent on my own journey in weaving.
This book would give me the added motivation to Start weaving again. Due to the pandemic, I was laid off and have entered retirement earlier than planned. I’ve been dusting off my floor loom and would love this inspirational resource.
I am a new weaver with my little Ashford sample it loom and just loving it. I’ve just discovered your YouTube channel and now your blog. So excited just to learn everything I can! This book looks awesome.
Weaving brings me to my happy place. I am so glad I discovered this hobby two years ago. Since it’s only been two years I have a lot to learn. This book will show me a new technique that I’d love to learn. Thank you and God bless!
I loved weaving the mug rugs, the colours were fantastic, I’d love to win the beautiful book to learn new designs.
I learned Krobagdt by taking your classes and would love to expand my knowledge of patterning.
What an inspiration! I am a fiber addict who is always expanding my skills and knowledge – much like I do with everything! My husband and I took a leap of faith after all the kids were gone and left my home state of Wyoming to fulfill our dreams. We finally settled in Virginia where we found a 100+-year-old farmhouse in desperate need of repair on just enough land to raise small animals and have a big garden. I have always had dreams of being like my grandmother. She was always working on a quilt or crocheting or embroidering and baking and gardening. I have found my dreams coming true in Virginia and now I have purchased a weaving business from my dear best friend’s mother. To quote her, she is passing on the shuttle to the next generation. I am hoping to live, learn and pass it on through the inspiration of the strong, beautiful women who go before me. This book will add just one more color to life’s weaving. Grace and Peace!
As a new weaver, I would love the opportunity to learn a new technique to add to my craft.
Her work is amazing. I would love her book.
I have been weaving for only a couple of years. I have always want to learn more about creating the different designs and working with the bright colors. Your classes are very easy to understand and your video are excellent.
Such beautiful patterns can be made with this particular technique. As a new weaver it would really help my weaving journey.
I’ve never tried Krokbragd, thinking it was too technical for me, but, seeing the inspirational colours and patterns in your blog and on your website Facebook page and now this book. I’m really tempted. This technique would teach me to mix and match colours when, normally, I go for tones of the same colour in my weaving.
I would like to learn Krokbragd. I love the patterns and the colours, it’s so magical! To me it is textile art. Helps metal health with the process and joy and colour to lift the spirits!
I’d be thrilled to have a copy of this book and push myself further in weaving.
I am a new weaver and want to expand my repertoire. I am also into genealogy and my MIL had German ancestors.
Why? Because, as a fairly inexperienced weaver with some Scandinavian connections, I took a course a little over a year ago where we wove krokbragd on 4-harness table looms prepared for us by the teacher, and I loved the process of weaving the designs, the possibility for color combinations, and the many pattern possibilities. I’m excited about the possibility of weaving some of the patterns in Debbie’s book to use for chair seats and wall hangings! I also am looking forward to making them on my rigid heddle loom, and hope to get started in a little over a month through Kelly’s krokbragd course.
Thanks, Kelly, for the chance to win a signed copy of Debbie’s book – it looks wonderful!
As a mom of 5, I try desperately to make time for myself. Recently, I discovered not only has my love of yarn grown beyond crocheting and knitting but I now own a few looms.. a Polonaise spinning wheel and diving into carding my own fibers. I’ve purchased many books to help me in this new found endeavor as I have with all my crafting adventures. I would love the opportunity to win this book and add it to my arsenal of knowledge!
Thank you for the reminder Kelly, I haven’t dabbled much in Krokbragd much at all in fact I have only created one. Not sure if it really is authentic as I was not following any pattern, as my husband often says are you just mucking around again. Anyway it would be a great opportunity for me to discover this wonderful genre of weaving. 😊
Oh wow I loved reading about your journey of sharing your passion thankyou for sharing..
I would be so grateful if I was a lucky lady to win this book 🙏 I feel for me that it would bring great connection to my Scandinavian ancestors to be be able to learn this fabulous weaving technique of old that is very new to me..this opens up even more possibilities of what you can do on a rigid heddle loom to create beautiful things..
I am new to weaving but not fiber arts. I would love to learn as many different techniques as I can. I love the designs in tablet weaving so I know I will love this too.
I have Swedish ancestry and would love to learn this method of weaving.
I am very inspired by the beauty of Krokbragd and the possibilities of color and design. (Thank you for the interview… I especially enjoyed the little goats!)
I would love to expand my weaving knowledge.
I would love to learn new techniques and expand my weaving repetoire
I would love to have this book! As a new weaver, it would help push me to further my skills.
The designs I have seen from our talented weavers are amazing. I love weft faced weaves because they gel with my understanding of colour contrasts and tension in weaving. I have Debby’s first book which gave me some great ideas but I really want to explore the design aspect of Krokbragd.
Please accept my entry in the drawing for Debby Greenlaw’s book. Krokbragd design looks so beautifully precise. I’ve been weaving for a relatively short time, since retirement, and enjoy playing with different patterns and yarns and combining unlikely colors. This book would be a wonderful resource.
Why would I like to win this book? Krokbragd is on my to-do list. I really want to do it. But it intimidates me. I’m not sure where to start. So I let all of my other ideas slip in front of the Krokbragd, I believe the book might be the little extra push I need to move it up the to-do list.
I’d love to win this book! I’m a relatively new weaver and I’m trying to learn as many techniques as I can. I’ve been intrigued by these designs and want to learn how to create them. Thanks for the chance!
I love krokbragd – with the current restrictions I have been limited to book learning. And would love to get further into the designing of the patterns.
It would be a chance to push myself into something new and beautiful. Thank you so much
Amazing patterns …… thanks for thisinterview. There are so many reasons to stay at ones loom and weave and weave …… stay creative😍
I am constantly astounded by the variety of things that can be woven on a rigid heddle loom, and I am really excited to diversify my skills and turn out such a variety of items. Krokbragd is next.
I love the designs too! The colors and shapes are fascinating.
This looks like a wonderful book. I love learning new things and techniques and this book looks like the perfect book for me. Thanks.
I would love this book, I’m new to weaving but not fiber arts! This would be so much fun to try, and maybe a great source for this years Christmas presents!
I would love to expand my weaving knowledge.
I would be thrilled to own this book!
I love crafting of any kind and learning new techniques I just jumped into weaving headfirst. I don’t have any books yet for my library and would love this to be my first. Thanks
My husband’s ancestry is Icelandic, so I am drawn to Scandinavian designs. I am a new weaver, and this book would be a blessing to me.
I’m a new weaver – I learned during Covid at 71! I’m just looking for lots of new info – like this book.
Wow! To win this would mean the beginning of a new venture into weaving. I am using a 4 shaft meco LeClerc loom and have learned so much since January 2021. I would love to expand my skills!
This sounds fascinating and I really want to learn new things with my loom. Thank you for the opportunity.
I love the first book and would enjoy seeing the new one.
Jeanette
I have just gotten into weaving Krokbragd and love it. I can’t wait to see the new patterns and helpful hints in this new book. Happy Treadling!
I received the first book as a gift and fell in love with this technique. I would love to have patterns to work.
All kinds of weaving just fascinate me. I soak up information and weaving styles like a sponge. This book would be an amazing addition to my collection of weaving and spinning books. Can’t wait to see all the new patterns
I’d love to win! I bought a rigid Heddle loom and learned how to use it through your videos! I’d love to expand my skills!
Id love to win as this is a technique i havent tried yet and this sounds like a great book
I just received my copy of the first book and couldn’t wait to go through it. I didn’t know there was a second book. I would love that one as well.
I am drawn to the colors and geometric designs of Krokbragd and would love to learn this new to me type of weaving!
It is mainly why I signed up for weaving lessons. Krokbragd looks so very interesting to me and I would love to have this book. All of Kelly’s lessons have been so informative!
I too was late to weaving, only starting to learn last year at the grand old age of 64! Of course, age is irrelevant in the world of crafting and I’m excited to learn all sorts of new techniques. I started my weaving journey with one of Kelly’s classes and completed 2 scarves and am now excited to try krokbragd as I am enchanted by the possibilities. A wall hanging for our craft wall seems inevitable! Even the cover of Kelly’s book is exciting and I can see soooo many possibilities. I’ll definitely be owning a copy of the book whether I win it or have to purchase a copy!
I would really love to win this book. I want to learn more about weaving and kokbragd always looks intriging.
Honestly, even if I don’t win I shall purchase this book! I would LOVE a copy of the book, because I just learned that I have Scandinavian ancestry, and I would love to learn not only how they wove but the patterns and history of this weaving technique too! Even if this book is just patterns, I would still be learning something, and that is better than knowing nothing at all about this woven art!
I would love to win the new book for inspiration.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the drawing.
Krokbragd is so intriguing. A book would be just the push I need to try it.
After reading everyone’s comments I don’t know if I should be the one to win, but I do so want this book. I just moved up from a 15 inch heddle to a 32 inch heddle (wanted to be sure I had one big enough ) and am in the process of taking classes to learn all the things I can do with my larger loom .Kkrogbragd is one of the classes I have signed up for and am looking forward to being able to weave these beautiful patterns.
I would love to win a signed copy of Krokbragd Patterns so I could learn more about this beautiful art of weave. I have searched the internet and have not found much information about it. I have been a weaver for about 10 years and would love to master the art of Krokbragd, it is one of the most interesting types of weaving I have seen pictures of.
Happy weaving!
what a lovely program and giveaway. I would love to win because looking at krokbragd makes me smile. I’d love to make sunny krokbragd gifts for everyone I know and brighten their days, especially for all my family halfway round the world from me. It would let them know I’m thinking of them during this time when we can’t be together. thanks for all you do for our vibrant weaving community.
After taking an introductory Krokbragd workshop offered by my weaving guild, I would absolutely love to have more designs to choose from. I treasure the sampler I wove, even though my color choices are questionable in places, lol.
Thank you for creating these books!!
Kim
haven’t tried Krokebrod but having just fininshed a vest on my 15 inch rigid heddle that had pick up stickes, crochet , and knitting all in one item, I feel ready to tackle a new challenge. Wish I knew how much fun weaving was but it took Covid to convince me to try.
I follow Debbys blog, and love it. I love the way the color combinations can pop and intertwine together with Krokbragd patterns. I have yet to dive into it. I love weaving rugs, so far just rag rugs, and a couple weft faced with yarn. I can’t wait to try Krokbragd, the patterns and colors make your heart sing. I would love to win this book, as this would be a way to enter into this method. Thank you Kelly for the interview and the great work you do.
I’m still new to weaving and I’m always looking to expand and improve my skills and techniques. I’d love to try these patterns, they’re gorgeous!
I would love to win a signed copy . i want to exspand my weaving knowledge. weaving started as a way to keep my mind and hands busy after my daughter passed away, none of my other hobbies would hold my mind.weaving was something new. and know im hooked.
Hi, I run a small weaving school in Israel. I love krogbragd and learned so much from the first book. I would be so happy to have to krogbragd pattern book to broden my knowledge and help my students too. Due to the corona situation I am struggling financially, therefore to win the book would be amazing!
Thank you!
I’m a weaver and musician and these 2 disciplines inform each other. Color, form, improvisation and traditional technique inspire my art practice; both textile and sonic.
A collection of krokbragd patterns will be a beautiful addition to my weaving and music bookshelf of inspiration, technique and history.
Good weaving books are hard to come by in Singapore, where I live so I would be extremely thankful to win a copy of this book!
I am entirely new to Rigged Heddle Weaving and had never heard of Krokbragd but when I did I knew that this would be a someday soon to try. It actually reminds me a lot of the Native American loom beading I did in my teenage years. The style is similar where the colors break and yet blend. Fascinating!
I have read her first book cover to cover twice! I made all the mug rugs in her book as a place to start. I love the color interaction and patterns. My next goal is to spin and dye the yarn for a rug, so I am looking forward to her book for further inspiration. Can’t wait. I want to thank you for all her hard work to write this book.
I like the graphic nature of the patterning. I also have Sweedish and German ancestry so I like the connection to my roots.
I would be thrilled to win the signed copy, but if not I will likely buy the book!
I am amazed that we can weave something as complex as Krokbragd on a rigid heddle loom using only two heddles. This has opened up a whole new world for me. Thanks to Kellu’s Class on weaving Krokbragd. I now want to discover more patterns to weave and this book is EXACTLY what I had been hoping for. I’m especially keen to learn how to create my own designs.
I love the patterns and colours of Krogbragd that remind me of the beautiful table runners and rugs that were in my grandparents home in Denmark. As a relatively new weaver i would love to have the help of this book to build my skills. Thank you for the interview it was so lovely to hear about Debby’s love and enthusiasm for weaving;
I’ve always wanted to learn krokbragd but I’ve been intimidated by it. It’s so great that this book is available so we can all learn more about this wonderful weaving technique.
I have recently begun to weave again after a 40 year hiatus. I am finding it so much easier this time around thanks to all the wonderful resources out there. I would love to learn new techniques such as the .Krokbragd style of weaving. Hopefully Kelly will do some of her wonderful videos to supplement the book.
I’m looking forward to seeing the new book. BEsides weaving from the bookI want to learn how to create a pattern of a Portuguese Water Dog
I am drawn to the geometry of the pattern and how the colors interact once it is done.
Thank you for putting this message and article forward. God has blessed my husband and I with a safe place out in the country in northern British Columbia Canada. I have just retired and the Lord in his grace and mercy has given me time to relax and follow my heart and passions – which is to work with fibre in every way I can!
Thank you again for all you do.
Be safe and God Bless
Sandra Faulkner
I’m a fairly new weaver and in all things crafty, I hope to find those that strengthen the tie between me and my ancestors from Norway. This book would be part of that discovery for me.
Hi Kelly and Debby,
Krokbragd reminds me of tablet weaving patterns, which is my first love in weaving. My mom spends time with me each day and i’m always looking for new ways to keep her engaged. Thank you both for sharing and teaching.
Teri
I am a professional weaver working on different kind of looms for the past 5 years. I live and work in Crete, a beautiful island in South Greece. I love Scandinavian aesthetics and have been attracted to Krokbragd but I have not delved enough into this technique. This book will be a good chance for me to work on this fantastic designs!! I really feel excited with the thought only of winning this contest!
Consider this grateful contest submission. Thank you Kelly and Debbie! Congratulations to both of you on your endeavours. Weaving is an amazing community. THe quiet, persistent ingenuity of you both as well as the fun and cheerful anecdotes of all your followers is inspiring and comforting. II have been told that sticking to a weave structure is a good idea but I am just need to experiment with them all. I have a diluted biological connection to Sweden. My brother was born in a seaside Swedish town of Oskersholm. If I won I would use your book to create a fun rug for my brother to celebrate the moments of his early heritage. Happy weaving to you all!
Like some others who have written comments, I didn’t get started in weaving until I retired from teaching after 30+ years. I started by building a frame loom and experimenting, making mistakes, and learning the basics. When I was convinced that weaving something I enjoyed, I invested in an Ashford 24″ rigid heddle loom..During the last six years, I have found terrific guidance in videos and online articles, along with lots of patterns which have allowed me to weave many towels and table mats among other things. My first experiment with krokbragd was a rug which came out so lovely and thick, I was hooked. With help from your class, Kelly, I learned more about krokbragd and made mug rugs with tulips and sheep and zig zags! Like others have clearly commented, I have wished there was a book that was full of patterns for weaving krokbragd on a rigid needle loom. I’m really excited to know it’s now a reality!
I am in the midst of Kelly’s class on Krokbradt. This is my first experience with a heddle rod and pick up sticks and I love that process. In face, I’m considering buying a smaller loom because I’m doing this project on a 30″ rigid heddle and very cumbersome! Your book would the perfect stimulus for me to build on this skill and to expand on color mixing, which I love to do!
Such an interesting technique, I would be honoured to have this book!
I’m very interested in the many types of weaving and I would love to explore Krokbragd .
I would love to win a copy of Debby Greenlaw’s new book. I have the first book and really love Krokbragd on my floor loom and a rigid heddle. I am so grateful to Debby for taking the time to share this fiber art.
I too have just started to learn to weave following a long nursing career. Leaving a world of science and forging into my creative side has been so exciting. I have been drawn to the Scandinavian weaving as well and perhaps so because my grandfather was from Sweden. I love the repetition and simplicity of the Scandinavian weaving. So far, I haven’t tried anything in Krokbragd and so to be so fortunate to be chosen for this book giveaway would be fantastic. I love the goats! Adorable!
I have become a total weaving maniac since Christmas. I now have an Ashford 32″ RH, A Schacht Inkle loom, An Ashford Sampleit 10″ loom and I am awaiting a delivery of a 20″ folding knitters loom. I look so forward to more of your classes Kelly. I love your mode of teaching….calm and patient, easily understandable and encourage your student to Experiment. I would love to own the Krokbragd pattern book, to ad to my weaving library.
I love fiber in just about any form which means I also love books about fiber! My daughter lives in Sweden, so this might lead to making something for her, but mostly I just want to know about this thing I cannot spell or pronounce correctly!!
Thank you for the opportunity!
I have tried krokbragd once and would like to try it again, under the tutalage of someone who really knows and can tell me how to… i would love to learn how to do it properly as it is one of the most beautiful weaves out there! I love the colourful way you can express yourself.
Krokbragd fascinates me. I would love to weave a wall hanging for my studio, and move on to a rug or two. Love your precious goats!
Estou aposentada e quero muito aprender KROKBRAGD, estou amando essa técnica.
I’ve only been weaving since December 2018 and find myself most drawn to the intricacies of patterns and textures. My second ever project was a set of log cabin place mats; last year I did a set of Krokbragd coasters as well as a set of pinwheel pattern kitchen towels. Did I mention that I only have an Ashford rigid heddle loom?
My grandmother use to weave krokbragd vests for us when we were kids. I remember begging my mom to please take us shopping for cool clothes instead of always wearing handmade.. I now wish I had saved some of the amazing dresses and vests, but of course hindsight is 20/20. When I first started weaving, it was on a frame loom and I really loved the precision of krokbragd- I would get lost in the process in a good way and love the wall hangings that I made. Now I have graduated to a rigid heddle loom and am learning krokbragd in a new way with a heddle rod. I just love it so much.
Krokbragd is something I have wanted to try and this book would be a great entry point.
I am relatively new to weaving. I found my first loom, a rigid heddle, at a garage sale but had young children, homeschooling, raising alpacas…. well with such a busy life, I took up spinning first. Now life is almost slower and I have time to learn to weave with my hands-on yarns. Ever on a budget, I scour the internet and read books to learn what I know. I first saw Krokbragd and fell in love with the colors and patterns. I love color and texture so I had to learn more and recently purchased “How to Design and Weave.” I need more! I recently purchased a second hand 8shaft table loom and have been learning about patterns on there. But Krokbragd is still on my mind and I purchased a pattern for my RH loom to try Krokbragd. Hoping to win the new book but if I don’t, it is on my wish list. I’m very excited about learning more about weaving.
She is such an inspiration. I would love to learn more about Krokbragd with a copy of her new book. Thank you for the wonderful interview.
I AM COMING FROM GREECE. IN “THE ODYSSEY” BY HOMER , PENELOPE WAS WEAVING UNTIL HER HUSBAND CAME BACK TO ITHACA ISLAND. I AM A MUM OF TWO BOYS, WHEN I BOUGHT MY LOOM, I TOLD TO MY FRIENDS, I WILL BE WEAVING AS PENELOPE UNTIL MY BOYS BECOME ADULTS. SO NOW I AM ON THE ROAD AND I AM LEARNING WEAVING. YOU ARE A SOURCE FOR ME. WEAVING IS LIKE THE WAVES OF THE SEA. THANK YOU.
The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer.
Homer’s Odyssey tells the story of how, during her husband’s long absence after the Trojan War, many chieftains of Ithaca and nearby islands become her suitors. To spare herself their importunities she insists that they wait until she has woven a shroud for Laertes, father of Odysseus. Every night for three years, until one of her maids reveals the secret, she unravels the piece that she has woven by day so that she will not have to give up hope for the return of her beloved husband and remarry. When at length Odysseus does return, she makes him prove his identity and finally accepts him.
Very excited for the opportunity to win this book!
I, too came to weaving upon retirement, Unfortunately my budget will not allow me to progress beyond my rigid heddle loom. but I’m willing & eager to learn any types of weaving that can be done on the RHL.
I am a new weaver. I began last year on a frame loom during my unemployment because of the covid pandemic. I have long been a knitter and crocheter and was intrigued by all the lovely new weaved pillows and even macrame that are back in fashion. I learned from YouTube videos and fell in love when I found the krokbragd tutorials that Kelly shared. I now have my first rigid heddle loom and am so excited to start my first krokbragd on it! This book would be amazing! Thanks for all the wonderful tutorials and for creating a weaving community! Happy Weaving friends!
I would love to win this book! I’ve been fascinated with Krokbragd since I first saw it. I’m signed up for the classes and can devote lots of time to learning to understand and weave Krokbragd. I retire in a week, and your drawing is the day before my birthday, so I’m crossing my fingers! 😏 Thank you for the chance to win.
I love Krokbragd. I often walk around with pictures in my head and wonder how I can translate it to a piece of Krokbragd. Is it too complicated? Will the viewer know what it is? I’ve searched through existing books, most of which I have, and look for a simple explanation of what I’m thing to achieve. Since I liked the way Debbie Greenlawn wrote and illustrated her first book, I think her new book would help me be even more creative.
I love korkbragd weaving! And honestly I can’t think of a great reason to win the book, but it would be nice! Very interested to see the designs she has come up with!!
Wow, I was not aware of this type of weaving until now. So excited to try on my RH, which is ready to be warped right now. Would love the book to expand my knowledge base. Thanks for sharing the interview. Happy Weaving all.
I am another late to the party weaver (started at age 66) but the party hat is definitely on. While I really enjoy knitting, crocheting, embroidery and the like, weaving has really captured my heart. I’ve only done one Krokbragd project (mug rugs,) I would love to learn more and try other things.
Thanks, Debby, and best of luck with your new book.
Most times weaving is a solidary act. The weaver is often left to solve problems that arise on their own or to try and stretch their mind to create new patterns/ideas. Then comes along a pioneer who puts these ideas, solutions, and patterns into print for everyone to be inspired, learn from, and enjoy. These women and men preserve the history of weaving or stretch the boundaries of what weavers once thought was possible. By doing this weavers are blessed with knowing there are reference sources to ensure that the history of weaving will be passed down to future weaving generations. This is the reason I would like to win a copy of your book. Thank you.
Life’s too short for ordinary stuff.’
Since I learned Krokbragd from Debbie’s first book, I know that Krokbragd is NOT ordinary stuff!
I started weaving and spinning with a view to my retirement. Unfotunely a blood cancer has changed my all the time ahead plans. I love the colors and patterns in krokbragd and would like to look at creating a few horse blankets for my kids for when I’m gone. I’m sorry to sound morose but its my reality. I love every new morning and the fact I’m here to do what I love. I’ve been involved in some sort of fibre art since mt teens and love creating with color I find weaving and spinning bring me joy, stir my creative juices and are very relaxing. I just ordered the first krokbragd book yesterday from Amazon. So I’m excited there will be a second one.
I’m enjoying turned krokbragd on the inkle loom. I look forward to seeing some of these pattterns on bands!
I love weaving! I only started to learn this craft 3 months ago and have since tried projects on a rigid heddle loom, an inkle Loom and a pin loom. I just love to learn new things – thanks for the great tutorials! – and therefore would also love to weave krokbragd patterns; I bought a used 4 shaft table loom a week ago and would really like to try this out. Besides I am excited that this is open worldwide, giving me a chance to participate! Thanks a lot and blessings from Germany.
I started weaving on a rigid heddle loom last year (spinning and knitting, too), and love learning new techniques. Krokbragd fascinates me, perhaps because I also discovered I have Scandinavian ancestry. This beautiful pattern book would be wonderful inspiration, especially after I take Kelly’s Krokbragd class!
I would love to learn a new technique and increase my weaving skill.
Thank you Debbie and Kelly for the opportunity to win Debbie’s new book. (Congratulations Debbie on your new book!). I love learning new techniques on my rigid heddle looms and look forward to trying krokbragd. Thanks again.
I recently purchased a table loom and never new how exciting weaving is. I am teaching myself through videos and books. I would love to be able to learn from these books and patterns!!!
Isn’t it wonderful how retirement helps us discover talents we never realized we had. My first was spinning and now weaving. I have always knitted and crocheted but now I do it with my own yarn. Now I weave with it. The scandinavian patterns are beautiful and seem so cheerful to me. I’d love to learn how to do them! The goats are precious!
Just discovered weaving krokbragd by taking Kelly’s online class. Love it. I now own Debby’s first book and would love to have the 2nd one.
I’m looking forward to trying out a new weaving technique.
I enjoyed the interview with Debbie. I too am a retired nurse and started my weaving journey after retirement. Weaving has been inspirational and reflective. I love to hear other people joining their weaving journey letter in life.
I have some ideas for patterns, but have not yet figured a way to implement them. I am hoping the book would help with that.
I have just finished a Krokbragd class on the rigid heddle. What a fun weave! Now I am interested in learning more. Debbie Greenlaw’s books sound like just what I need.
I would love to win this book. I am pretty new to weaving but love all the textile arts. My main interest is in exploring all the possibilities and this book would help me so much !
I began my weaving journey about 5 years ago with a rigid heddle loom. I only recently began playing with krokbragd and would love to expand my knowledge and craft. This book looks to be the answer.
Would love to win weaving is my relaxation
Thank you for this opportunity to win one of your gorgeous books
I have been spinning and weaving since the med 70’s and stumbled apron krokbragd by accident about four years ago. I have been looking for more information when I found Kelly’s’ class a few months ago and have gone head over heels for the weave. I did purchase the first book and did find it lacking in the pattern department and am now so excited to get my hands on this new book.
Thank you for writing this book and for Kelly doing this wonderful interview.
Although I had a floor loom for years, a job that was stressful and required long hours meant it languished, mostly unused, until I retired. Since then I have explored woven dish cloths, huck lace and overshot and am learning more about color and using color in weaving. I have not explored krokbargd and up until now the required color choices would have intimidated me, but I think I’m ready to tackle it. Kudos too Debbie for seeing a need, believing she could fill it and following through to do it. We have all seen “the need.” But have stopped there.
I am just learning krokbragd and this most excellent book of patterns would be fantastic!
What beautiful color variations. I am new and learning different warping and wefing techniques. Can’t wait to learn more.
After trying the diamond stripe towels I am more willing to try stuff on my loom.that seems really hard. Krokbragd certainly fits that desire! I love learning about the origin of fiber arts too -it connects me to makers in the past.
I have Debby’s first book and have fallen in love with krokbragd! I can’t wait to see what designs she has created!
So excited to explore the second book for inspiration! I already have her first book in my possession. Good luck everyone and thank you Kelly for your ongoing guidance.
I began weaving in January of 2020, just a few months before I retired. I love it and am fascinated at everything that I’m learning. I am just now learning Krokbragd thanks to your wonderful class Kelly. It is so much fun to see all the wonderful patterns and shapes you can weave and it’s much easier than I expected. I would love to win this wonderful book. I don’t have Debby’s first book yet but it already on my wish list!
I have really just begun my weaving journey in the past year. I am enjoying it so much and cannot believe how much there is to learn. Krokbragd is definitely on my list. Thanks for a great interview.
Using Debby’s first book, I began to weave rugs and enjoyed it. I like my rugs and would love to see her second book
I too have some German heritage and am drawn to Scandinavian patterns and designs so this interview was so fun to read. My husband and I also just moved out to acreage and are building a small farm after many years of working in the city. I would love to explore this new book.
My weaving experience is limited to just over 1 year but I feel as if I could continue learning until I am over 100. I really want to continue to learn more and more so I would love the pattern book – either as a prize or a purchase. Thank You
As a new weaver, I have been working hard to get past the beginner basics. Its a wonderful journey with Kelly as my guide. Just looking at krokbragd patterns, I feel excited to know that is in my future but I feel I still need a bit of skill and knowledge first. I would love to obtain the patterns book to study and build upon my skills. Thank you for all the possibilities that weaving can hold!
I would love to win this book. I am relatively new to weaving and have been doing a lot of experimenting with the different types but have yet to try Krokbragd. I have seen some adorable designs and would love learn,
The joy of weaving began when I inherited my first loom upon a death of a friends dad. It is a simple homemade 2 harness rug loom but has made many sturdy, handsome rugs. Since then I have purchased an Ashford rigid heddle loom and a LeClerc Dorothy loom. This joy of weaving continues to grow as I expand my knowledge of color, texture, structure and weaving. Hopefully it helps keep my brain working as weaving using different techniques requires a lot of thinking! Krokbragd is o technique I have seen but have been hesitant to try.
Krokbragd is one of my major weaving loves. The pattern possibilities are almost limitless and fascinating for such a “simply” structure. I’m looking forward to reading and using this book.
I am new to weaving – finding it during our (mercifully short) NZ lockdown. I am working through Kelly’s excellent course and this book would be a great natural progression to learning further skills on Krokbragd . Debby’s article was inspirational in that she too took up weaving later in life.
I started weaving a few years ago and there are so many techniques I wnt to try. kKrokbragd looks so interesting and it is on my list.
The patterns I’ve seen thus far are awe inspiring. The colours are warmth for the the sole. I’m dying to try my hand at these awe inspiring challenges.
I too came to weaving when I retired,I retired the beginning of march2020 and went into lockdown here in Great Britain at the end of march2020 . I am a spinner knitter dyer and weaving for me ,now I have time ,was the next step, so with 24″ rigid heddle loom purchased I found Kelly on line and I absolutely love it , she inspires me .
Krokbragd is such a pretty structure and one I want to explore soon. I love it in rugs especially.
We have had a very colourfull and beautiful wall hanging in my parent’s house for about 50 years. It is made by my grandmother who was from Karelian. Now that piece of art is in my home and I have been watching it a lot. It gives me joy, good spirit and also gratitude. I started to weave 5 years ago. About 6months ago I saw first Krokbrags works and patterns. Suddenly I understood what technique my grandmother had used in the wall hanging I have. Since then I have been learning and doing samplers (thanks to Kelly). One day I will do the same kind of work than my grandmother has done. I still have few mysteries in that pattern but I hope the book will help me and learn more this wonderful technique.
I started weaving during the first covid-lockdown, lata year. I quickly felt drawn to krokbragd, because I love colorful cloth and I was already a big fan of scandinavian design. With the help of your krokbragd course for the rigid heddle loom and Debby’s first book, I learned so much. I recently got myself a beautiful table loom, to cheer myself up, really, because in the Netherlands we have been in lockdown since december, with no end in sight because our government manages to be one of the western countries that slowest to vaccinate people. Because I have an auto-immune disease, this means I have weeks, possibly months of self isolation ahead. It gets me down sometimes, but weaving always seems to lift my spirits, and this amazing book would certainly bring a lot of joy in dark times!
Here I sit inside my warm cabin in the woods with almost four feet of snow still on the ground outside. A new book with new patterns would make staying inside so much better!
Introduced to Krogbragt by one of Kelly’s early videos on You|Tube, and then adding to my knowledge with Debby Greenlaw’s ‘Krokbragd” book, I would love to win the new pattern book so I can have some more lovely designs as well as patterns. I read Debby has a Louet Jane table loom, so have I, but not used it for Krogbragt yet. Loved the interview, the gorgeous goats, her garden and to know she came to the weaving and spinning crafts later in life as I did, Thank you for your inspiration, Debby,
I tried only once krokbragd weaving with two heddles and rod and fell in love with it! I would love to have the book in order to continue practicing and improving the technique! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to know Debby!
I’m fairly new to the weaving world. I e recently purchased my first floor loom and I’ve been very eager to do some Krokbragd Weaving on it. BUT I’m horrible at creating my own patterns and always seem to need inspiration or something to follow. What better inspiration than the Krokbragd Queen. 😍😍😍
I realy love these patterns you van make, and I love to learn making thuis beautyfull patterns. I have a 4 shafts table loom and love to try nee things.
I am new weaver and still learning. . I won a 12 inch knitting riddle heddle and once I did my first scarf I was hooked.
It came at the right time since I developed arthritis on the thumbs and I could not knit nor crochet. I still wanted to work with fiber. I enjoy the process and the end result. I am always so amazed.
I hope to win this book so I can develop more techniques for weaving.
I started weaving just this year, and started spinning the year before last. It’s allowed me to put a dent in my yarn stash. I just took my first Krokbragd projects off my ridged heddle loom. They took quite a while to finish, as I mostly used single strands of needlepoint yarn, (Obtained with cumulative purchases a few decades ago at thrift stores)
Thank you for all your videos and blogging.
My Husband is Norwegian and really loves Scandinavian patterns. This would be a book well used.
Ms Greenlaw is very inspiring. I am working hard to make myself try new things and learn new things, even at my age with some challenges. I am looking forward to your class on krokbragd and having patterns would help me. Thanks to you for all your help and expertise.
I have Debby’s first book and would love to see the patterns in her new book.
I think her journey to weaving is so inspiring. I love how she embraced trying new pursuits and then writing a book about it. I would love to incorporate these patterns into my weaving journey. If some of her beautiful spirit rubs off in me too that would be great. Thank you Kelly from these great interview and the many lovely aspects you have added to my weaving journey.
I want to push the limits of my rigid heddle cricket loom and was introduced to Kelly’s site through Liz Gipson. We had just finished a double heddle weave along. I was soon hooked on Kelly’s video’s and signed up for the Krokbragd Class, totally new for me on this type of weaving. I will soon be warping up my loom to try the samples and would love to have further patterns to explore.
New to Krokbragd weaving as I am working on my first sampler. I own the first book and was thrilled to hear there would be a second. I love the variety of designs, the dense ness of the weave, coupled with the possibility of including numerous colors. So many possibilities!
Hi everyone. How would you choose the winner? Everyone deserves the prize. Having an Aussie weaver is ‘the best thing since sliced bread’ as they say. We all win by being part of Kelly’s journey. Thankyou for all you have contributed to my weaving journey.
I am in my late 60s and was gifted a sampleit a bout a month ago. I have woven a couple of scarves and researched a number weaving sites. All are very inspiring . But krokbragd has really caught my eye as I can see similarities with fair isle or colour work, that I love, but now find difficult. I am itching to start a krokbragd project (have to finish current one on loom first), so would love to win the book. If not I will buy it anyway .
I only started weaving after I had a stroke and forgot all my other fibre crafts. I have found it tremendous therapy for both mind and dexterity. I love challenging myself to keep rebuilding my brain. At the end of the day I am satisfied and have something beautiful to show for it. Love your goats….I have a small herd and LOVE them all.
I enjoyed this interview a lot. The Krokbragd work in the weaving school is on my vision board, but I haven’t gotten to try it yet. I am drawn to the colors, texture, and variety in the weave. It is so beautiful!
I would love to learn more from this book!
I was hoping your blog would tell us what breed (or breeds) Debby’s remarkably pretty brown and white dairy goats are. We have sweet little brow and black Oberhasli dairy goats, but Debby’s goats are just plain GORGEOUS (drool!).
The third heddles and heddlebblocks for my two heddle looms have shipped and should arrive next week (yippee!). I’ve tried the heddle rod and pick-up stick routine, and think I’ll prefer using the third heddle after viewing Kelly’s very clear THREE HEDDLES ADVENTURE! lesson. Then I’ll be all set to branch out into the exciting krokbragd adventure!
Why do I want to win the Krogbragd patterns book? Ever since I spotted Kelly’s lesson on krokbragd, I’ve had a passion to weave a whole bunch of the stuff: as colourful wall hangings…and more! Our home has very dull mud-coloured walls and a 76 year-old husband with a rather mud-coloured personality to go with the walls (lol), and BOTH could DEFINITELY use a perk-me-up!
Other home accents I want to weave include book and notebook covers, placemats( to encourage cheerier meal),, a set of mug rugs, and (is it possible??) to make a lap blanket with krokbragd? Surely, it must be very difficult for anyone to remain depressed around such cheerful, bright patterns. So it’s time to give krokbragd a go and fill this home with it, then start making more for gifting to family and friends. Who wouldn’t cherish something woven just for them in a krokbragd pattern?!! Household furnishings…beware! Bright, cheerful colour is definitely on the way!
Oh my goodness that is inspiring! I’m still new to weaving and have so much to learn, and love learning new techniques, skills, so would so much appreciate winning this book! Good luck everyone.
I’ve been weaving for about 2 years and would like to start learning more complex patterns. I’ve seen some amazing Krokbragd weaving and would like to learn!
Debby’s first book was great, and I hope her sequel here does phenomenal! She’s a tremendous resource and huge creative talent.
Weaving krokbragd fascinates me. I would love to own the new book
Krokbradg is such an interesting weave. I would love to study it more…
I would dearly love to win a copy of Debbie’s book! I also am a”late bloomer” to weaving, (and have raised dairy goats and work in healthcare )! I have been wanting to try krokbragd for a little while now. Thank you for the chance to win your lovely projects!
I came to Kelly’s website the long way.. According to my DNA results I have a wee bit of Swedish ancestry and this led me to all things Scandinavian including weaving (and food). Which then, of course, brought my search to krokbragd which I thought was gorgeous but way beyond my anything I could do. But then it brought me into the weaving world and once I bought a RHL it was here to Kelly’s website and school. So in essence I’d love to get a book that will take me back to learn the crooked path that started it all.
Thanks for the interview. I loved Debby’s first book and the opportunity to win her second is very exciting. I would love to win this book because krogbragd is the first thing I wove on a floor loom when I was given a chance. I set up that loom for krogbragd and had an amazing time weaving and designing on the fly. I would love to see more of Debby’s designs
i’m just learning Krokbragd and would love to learn the differnt patterns that can be woven. I’m takinf Kelly’s class and now think I should buy the first book.
I enjoyed this interview very much and Just popped in to say Hi Kelly, Hi Debby! The winner of this generous prize is in for a real treat, as are those who purchase this wonderful book. With so many diverse motifs and projects, there really is something for everyone and it will not disappoint. Best of luck everyone – enjoy your Krokbragd!
Weaving krokbragd fascinates me. I would love to own the new book!
I never win anything 😁 maybe I’ll be lucky and receive this wonderful book xx
I love the Dairy goats. I am a beginner weaver on a rigid heddle loom and am amazed at all the things I am learning I can do with it other than scarves. The book looks beautiful and will definitely be one of my table books should I win.
I have been a fiber enthusiast for quite some time. After leaving a career of classroom teaching, I finally found the time to try my hand at weaving and fell in love with the entire process (yes, even warping the loom!). I have been especially intrigued by the krogbrad patterns, as well as the design and weaving process for these patterns. I’ve purchased the fiber from my LYS (especially for krogbrad) and would love to have a copy of the book to help me along this weaving journey.
I first learned about Krokbragd from Kelly’s online weaving school. I then bought Debby’s first book and have loved these weaving patterns! I am so excited about the new book and look forward to reading it. I really enjoyed this blog and learning more about Debbie Greenlaw.
I’m soooo new to weaving, but I find I work best when combining lessons with reading materials. This book looks like it would be an amazing addition to my library.
I, too, love the simplicity of the krokbragd patterns, but I also love the durable fabric that results from this type of weaving. I would like to win this book to have more patterns from which to choose. Thanks for sharing your talents (both of you)!
I love the creative inspiration in weaving one gets from books of pattern especially when it enhances a particular structure.
I loved her first book from the first time I saw the cover. I jumped in with two feet. I was a new weaver and only had Kelly’s first video on krokbragd to guide me. I’ve created several items using the knowledge I’ve gained. It was all done on my 12 inch Knitters loom. I now have a larger rigid heddle loom and a 4 shaft table loom. I would love the new book to see and try a variety of patterns and increase my knowledge and skills. Thank you for the interview. It was very interesting.
I bought Debbie’s first book and love it!! I really enjoyed making Mug Rugs from her patterns and some I devised, and found the instructions for warping very well explained.
I’d love to win the book to have more patterns to try out – I’ve just ordered some yarns in different colours from Tracy (KnitSpinWeave) and when they arrive I will be exploring more Krokbragd designs.
If I don’t win the book I will just have to wait until it’s available in Australia – could be a while!!
I’m warping my RHL for the first time this weekend. Exciting! With all the research I’ve done looking at videos and books what keeps my interest has been the lovely patterns of Krokbragd weaving. It’s my goal to learn how to do this as I begin weaving. Your book would bring great joy for this new passion.🙂
Hi Kelly, what an entertaining interview you did with Debbie, it is very interesting to see how people fall in love with weaving and its various techniques. It was through you that I met krokbagd and bought Debby’s first book, and I would love the chance to win the second one and have lots of patterns to weave in the future.
This would be amazing to win to gain the wealth of knowledge from the patterns. They are striking and very lovely!
The book will make a big difference in my life, I just moved to a new home, I dont have any friends, my loom keep me busy, and metally active.
Debbie was incredibly kind and encouraging helping to find the confidence to lear a new skill, having her book it will help me keep learning and make all the items I need to my the home my home
Weaving has been a respite of calm for me during the pandemic. I have been weaving for less than a year and was thrilled to explore my creative side. Learning Krokbragd would open doors to new adventures and learning.
Oh my it is so beautiful! I have no idea where to start. I’ve been weaving for about 2 years now and I love it. I’m a slowing learning different patterns and the book would help me so much! My favorite right now is weaving kitchen towels🥰.
I loved Debbie’s first book “Krokbragd: How to weave and Design” so much I read it three times. Each time picking up another understanding about Krokbragd. I am very excited to receive her new book. I have preordered already.
What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Only that I love this form of weaving!
I’m new to weaving and have a 20” rigid heddle loom. I’ve loved working my way through a “beginners” book and learning with each new project/pattern. I’ve also started following different weavers across SM and YouTube videos….Krokbragd had such amazing designs and I would learn so much being able to work my way through each new pattern.
I would love to win the book I so need a challenge.I have recently received my Ashford table loom and it will be over a month before I receive my warping frame yes due to covid 😢 Then I plan to subscribe to your lessons.I would love t o be able to read this book and share it with my new friend Patrica Chriss who only recently became a Ashford dealer in my Town.We want to encourage more people to take up weaving and spinning.I just love it because it’s so good for both my mental health and helps me with my learning disability.
I have spent the last two weeks weaving krokbragd after buying and reading Debby Greenlaw’s first book on Krokbragd. I love the designs and have worked hard to write out patterns on my own w/ about 50% success. The pattern book sounds awesome!
I promised my family I wouldn’t buy any more weaving books and winning one would be sort of a funny “last laugh” but seriously, I loved Debby’s first book so much that even if I don’t win, I’d have to buy the new one and say it’s just part two of the first. Krokbragd would seem to have infinite possibilities for design, but sometimes having a book of patterns gets you started and inspired, and if this book is as helpful as her first, I can’t wait. Please put my name in the hat!
I would love to win this book! I haven’t tried krokbragd yet, but have wanted to. This would push me to start.
I would love to learn how to do Krokbragd weaving to use my ridgid heddle loom in creating something different and unique. I love your work is so beautiful!
I would love to win Debby’s second book, because I love her first book. I still have so much to learn about Krokbragd weaving, and am tickled that there is now another resource available!
I love that a fellow South Carolinian has written an amazing book on Krokbragd book! I love to use my rigid heddle loom to try new techniques and patterns.
I haven’t yet tried Krokbragd but it is on my top 10 list. I really like color and Krokbragd is the epitame of just that. Winning the book would be awesome. Thanks for the chance.
I am new to weaving and I have a lot to learn
Thank you for the interview with Debby. It is lovely to find out about the way various artists live and there insperation on there work and thanks for Debby for allowing someone to win her new signed book. I would like to be able to expand my work and help advance my skills and create new patterns in my work so the book would be a great resource to me.
Thanks again Kelly for another great blog.
I would absolutely love to win a copy of this book. Being in lock down and recently retired has become the perfect senario to sign up for weaving classes as well as many others including Sprang. I always loved this type of weaving,but I didn’t have a clue about it until Kelly put the class together. Mostly I would like to get back intorugs, I have a large loom and would love to work a rug in this technique- the book I will get one way or another-winning one is always fun!
I am so inlove with designs and colors on looms. I weave baskets too, and often do twill designs that force your eye a certain direction. I think Krokbragd would achieve similar designs.
I have been delaying my Krokbragd journey as I was unsure where to start. I still have so many other projects in the cue and didn’t want to interrupt it. However, seeing that gorgeous rug that Debby is holding in the photograph, I think the cue can certainly be interrupted for this. I tend to be project driven rather than experimental, but I guess I had better start with something smaller to practice before tackling the rug. I was thinking mug rugs. I would love a signed copy of Debby’s book to unearth the possibilities of Krokbragd, especially the idea of more muted patterns as in the floor rug, so I will to buy her first book immediately.
The 19th of April is my 80th Birthday . I try to learn new things all the time and things is just perfect for me.
Although I am not new to yarn crafts, as my massive yarn stash can attest, I am new to weaving. I just began the day after Christmas 2020, when my Ashford 24in RHL arrived. I have fallen in love and now view my yarn stash with entirely new eyes. Oh, the possiblities!!! I have only one weaving book thus far and am most anxious to try this Krokbradg technique, but have no books or patterns yet. To win a copy of this book would be an absolute delight!
I too, started weaving after I retired and have an Ashford rigid huddle loom. I have done a couple of sample Krokbragd pieces and just love the look of it. I would be delighted to win Debby’s book, Krokbragd Patterns in order to learn more about this fabulous design.
I love Debbie’s first book and I would really love to win her pattern book. I was introduced to Krokbragd through Kelly’s weaving school. I loved it so much, that I started looking online for more information and that’s when I found Debbie’s website and her book. They are both inspirational!
From the time I was introduced to Krokbradg, Kellycasanova Mug Rugs, I found Krokbradg a joy to weave. I purchased Debby’s first book a couple days after it was published and found the patterns useful in my weaving. I would love to have a copy of her new book “Patterns” to expand my love of Krokbradg weaving.
I am new to weaving, my mom introduced me to her floor loom by making an area rug. Because of space where I live, I had to buy a table loom, I love it and whenever I see a new pattern I wonder if I can do it on my loom. I want to keep learning and having another tool under my belt would be awesome.
I love the beautiful designs that have been showcased in you posts and as others have shared their work. I’m fairly new to weaving and would be excited to learn the techniques
I would love to win the book because I find Krokbragd challenging.I feel like the book and it’s challenges would expand my creative horizons and abilities.
I’d love to win the pattern book. I love the look of this kind of weaving and want to learn as much ad I can about it.
I would love to have a copy of the book, i was a dairy goat farmer until an accident on the farm left me with a brain injury so hard copy is the way to go for me..i have an old nilus leclerc table loom and just got a 32″ ashford rigid heddle loom..i admire the krok weaving for making straps for my celtic harp Thank you for writing these books for we solitary artists
I’m quite a new weaver and I’d like to win the book because Krokbragd looks very interesting after watching Kelly’s videos and I’d like to try different patterns
I am so interested in these intricate Krokbragd patterns. I would love a well written pattern book to learn more and improve my skills.
I fell in love with Krokbragd using Debby’s first book. I’ve almost completed seat cushions for my dining chairs using Krokbragd. I look forward to making more things with this weave. Thank you.
I am fascinated by Krokbragd and have already purchased the first book. I would love to win the pattern book! Like Debby, I came to weaving later in life, but am addicted. I have a rigid heddle loom, a table loom, and a floor loom; and I keep them all warped. I don’t think I would have survived Covid 19 without weaving. I do have vision issues, and my greatest fear is that I won’t be able to see well enough to weave!
Having just started weaving this year, I made my first krokbragd sampler and had such fun playing with different patterns. I would love some new inspiration and too get more practice at this, especially to share with my Swedish relatives!
I love trying new things and would love to win this book to do just that.
I’d love to receive a copy of the book! Krokbragd patterns are so “simple” but elegant in their simplicity. I must have some Scandinavian in my heritage also. The nordic colors are very appealing to me as well. I have your first book and would love to get the pattern book.
I volunteered to be a tester for the book but had to withdraw. I’d dearly like to be able to see what I missed!
As a beginner Weaver, her book was one of the first I purchased. People were amazed at some of my early projects but by following Debby’s wonderful instructions I was able to complete my project and learn more about weaving. Even if I do not win her book, I will most certainly purchase it.
I am intrigued and want to know more and learn more! Thanks for the chance to win a signed book (fingers crossed). Love to all you weavers!
I love the colors and patterns of Krokbragd weaving. I do not believe I have any Nordic heritage but the combinations speak to me. I have not yet tried weaving Krokbragd. This article has inspired me to think about doing so.
I would love to win the Krokbragd Book as the weaving looks complicated…but isn’t. Just have to pay close attention. It would be an heirloom autographed book and give me years of weaving pleasure!
Love the designs and would like to learn about this technique
I just picked up a copy of Debbie’s first book and made my husband a rug for his side of the bed… I still have a few yards of warp left and would love to try some new patterns!
Inspiration!
I have limited experience with Krokbragd, but love the wide variety of the patterns. I have the perfect place for a krokbragd runner and Debby’s book would be a valuable resource in designing it
Hi Kelly
I would love to win this prize as I have always wanted to try the Krokbragd weaving method, but I really am clueless on how to create a beautiful pattern. The book would help get me going, give me insights on the technique as well as help teach me to create my own patterns. As a new weaver, that would be a tremendous help! Best of luck to all who enter!
I am new to weaving and krokbragd fascinates me even though I have not done much yet. The book would be a fun and useful resource to learn more.
I have seen Krokbragd posts on Facebook and they fascinated me! I’m a new weaver and i can’t wait to learn this type of design! I also love the historical and cultural aspect of it!
I am fascinated by the beauty of krokbragd. I also have a passion for collecting books related to my passions of weaving, sewing, knitting. This would be a treasured book!
I have always been drawn to things that are woven. I bought a rigid heddle loom and have really enjoyed my journey thus far😊
How exciting to be a published author! I’d love to win so I can expand my weaving tool box!
I love Krokbragd. Happy Treadling!
Such a part of my heritage. Such special meaning!!!!!
I would love to win the book to add to my collection and increase my weaving knowledge
Moro em um pais (Brasil) carente de literatura para tecelões. E no momento fica inviavel importar esses livros. Adoraria ganhar essa publicação, iria impulsionar o meu aprendizado.
