The twelve projects in this issue feature traditional and more contemporary takes on plaids, checks, tartans, and houndstooth patterns in table runners, blankets, placemats, and scarves. The wide range of projects includes an elegant, modern silk\/wool houndstooth shawl, cheerful linen checkered napkins, and a tartan baby blanket.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArticles reflect the issue’s theme with stories of plaids and tartans that hold meaning for both the weaver and\/or the recipient. In her Idea Gallery article, Daryl Lancaster describes her process for designing and weaving plaid for a coat using leftovers in her stash. Toby Smith in turn writes about the meanings we weave into our cloth, including the tartan she wove to memorialize her cherished home when she had to move. Kathy Fitzgerald discusses how we view plaids and checks, and Judy Steinkoenig talks about weaving shawls for her daughter’s wedding as well as a tartan plaid for her grandson’s kilt. For the Yarn Lab, Angela K Schneider wove samples using Camilla Valley Farms 2\/16 Worsted wool, a yarn designed specifically for weaving tartans.\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProjects + Stories:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpotlight: A Checkered (and Plaided) History by Kathy Fitzgerald\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomewhere in Time by Carol Irving\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes from the Fell: Caring for Your Reeds by Tom Knisely\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdea Gallery: Bits and Pieces Plaid by Daryl Lancaster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving as Narrative by Toby Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYarn Lab: Camilla Valley Farm 2\/16 Worsted-Spun Wool by Angela Schneider\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWrap Me in Houndstooth\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eCarla Jeanne Hubbart (rigid heddle)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAsymmetric Elegance\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eAlison Irwin (4-shaft)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn Inkling of Summer\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eMariellen Boss (inkle)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCelebration Pinwheels and Stars Scarves\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eNancy Peck (rigid heddle or 4-shaft)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFourth of July Picnic Towels\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eYvonne Ellsworth (rigid heddle)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalaka-Inspired Canvas Weave\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eKate Lange-McKibben (4-shaft)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMosaic Tiles\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eLucienne Coifman (8-shaft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLuncheon Napkins\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eKira Keck (2- or 4-shaft)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrompe l’Oeil Placemats and Table Runner\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eRebecca Fox (8-shaft)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTartan Baby Blanket\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eTom Knisely (4-shaft)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGift-Exchange Towels\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003ePat Bullen (4-shaft)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew Hampshire Sunset\u003c\/span\u003e by \u003cspan\u003eJanet A.
