I wove this on my 40 shaft AVL. I love creating my own designs for Dobby looms. Using books and articles from Margaret Coe, Alice Schlein and Tien Chui, I learned to design in Photoshop, weave words and easily create taquete drafts. While on vacation in Europe, I saw a funny sign in a juice shop about avocados. I asked myself, &#8220;Could I weave that?&#8221; Yes, I could and I did! It still makes me laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-rectangular wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Avocado-Conundrum-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"464\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"25421\" data-src=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Avocado-Conundrum-464x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25421 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Avocado-Conundrum-464x1024.jpg 464w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Avocado-Conundrum-136x300.jpg 136w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Avocado-Conundrum-768x1695.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Avocado-Conundrum-696x1536.jpg 696w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Avocado-Conundrum-928x2048.jpg 928w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Avocado-Conundrum-scaled.jpg 1160w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 464px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 464\/1024;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/close-up-of-weaving-avocados-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"464\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"25422\" data-src=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/close-up-of-weaving-avocados-464x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25422 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/close-up-of-weaving-avocados-464x1024.jpg 464w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/close-up-of-weaving-avocados-136x300.jpg 136w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/close-up-of-weaving-avocados-768x1695.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/close-up-of-weaving-avocados-696x1536.jpg 696w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/close-up-of-weaving-avocados-928x2048.jpg 928w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/close-up-of-weaving-avocados-scaled.jpg 1160w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 464px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 464\/1024;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathy Crone, Whidbey Weavers Guild, Coupeville, WA Material &amp; Technique:\u00a0Woven on 40 shaft AVL V-series Loom. 4-color taquete and 3\/1 twill and double weave Description:\u00a0I have been weaving for almost 20 years.
