Well, who'da thunk it but I just found a Fjord picture in my new (Sep/ Oct
96) issue of _Handwoven Magazine_. In the 'story cloth' section which
features projects woven by readers, there's a picture of Jeanine Martinsen of
Orcas, Washington, with one of her two Fjords. She's woven saddle blankets
for both of them.
There's also a big section of the magazine this time 'round on "Nordic
Traditions" including Norse Lichen Dyes, Old Looms of Norway, and some of the
weaving techniques found there.
So if you've ever had a hankering to weave your own saddle blankets, take
heart, you aren't alone.
