99%
scarf #133 close up I think it is Thomas Edison who is credited with the saying that creativity is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. This is very true when you are a production weaver making a ‘line’ for sale. Almost all of the creativity is in the proving of the concept. Once you’ve got the…

Birthday Bash Special
Debi mentioned in a comment that she wasn’t sure she liked the selling part. Well, I don’t much like it either but I learned a long time ago that until the product is sold, the job isn’t finished. Doesn’t make a bit of difference if you are building the very best mousetrap in the universe…

Face Book Philosophy
I joined Face Book at the urging of a friend so that I could see her photos.

Of Copying and Copyright
I don’t know the ins and outs of copyright law. I can’t afford a lawyer to explain it to me, nor am I terribly concerned about ‘protecting’ my designs. Frankly, the label ‘designer’ is not one I wear easily, although I must because that is precisely what I do. I take yarn and using no…

Musings
last of the warps for AGY:L&H to be woven on the small loom… Weaver A was sitting at a table in the dining hall at a conference, wearing what was obviously a hand woven top. Another weaver walked by, did a double take and exclaimed “You’re wearing my top!” Weaver A was noticeably taken aback.…
