Last year my friend, Marty
F, gave me four towels that she’d woven. They are hand towels, made of cotton,
and woven in Monk’s Belt patterns.
I have been using these beauties
in my bathroom. They have gotten regular use and regular washing. And I love
them. When I’m sitting on the pot, I stare right at my hand towel, so I’ve
gotten plenty of time to examine these towels and their patterns. From the
start, I’ve been quite fascinated by the designs. I wonder how Marty made
decisions about the width and length of the patterns, and when to change colors.
I stare at these patterns
and let my mind wander. Lately, I’ve been thinking that the weaving pattern is
a code and I wonder what message has been woven into the towel. I don’t really
want to figure it out. I like the puzzle, the mystery. I hope to continue to be
entertained by the puzzle of Monk’s Belt. Thank you, Marty!
