Day two is winding down. There have been ah-ha moments, some frustrations, some break throughs.
Learning is a process of laying down layers of knowledge to create a solid foundation which allows more learning.
Weaving is not difficult. It IS complex. In order to learn a student would do well to remember the maxim, use it or lose it. Setting aside 15 minutes every day to do something related to your craft will reap rewards. Trying to do it in marathon sessions months apart means constantly wallowing at the shallow end of the learning curve.
Learning a new skill takes mindful practice, regularly.
On a related note, I may be back at the folk school next year. Stay tuned.
