Suddenly September
next painted warp scarf….The last couple of weeks, trees have slowly begun turning colour – so why was I so surprised when the little maple tree in my front yard showed a glowing golden crown this morning? It feels like the summer whizzed by too fast to see it go. 🙁 There is a Bonnie…

Choices
This particular weave structure and yarn combination loses quite a lot of length/width during wet finishing. Partly, I think, because of the rayon chenille which is fairly stretchy, partly because of the weave structure – two fine threads and one thick one in warp and weft. I think that means that the weave structure can…

Beauty….
…is in the eye of the beholder. What is beauty? Can we define it? We know it when we see it or hear it or feel it, but what is it? I suppose it’s impossible to define because what warms the cockles of my heart may leave someone else cold. I may find beauty in…

End of the Line – nearly
Still learning the new picture editing software. One of the things I’m trying to figure out is where it now saves things. None of the places seems intuitive to me – but then I’m a dinosaur. :} At any rate, here is the last of the scarf warp. There is enough left on the warp…

Sarah’s Scarf
Sarah came today around 12:30 and by 1 pm she’s nearly 1/3 done her scarf. This is the second thing she’s ever woven and I have to say I’m impressed with the consistency of beat and the nice straight selvedges. 🙂 She’s also catching on very quickly to issues of efficiency. She threaded a herringbone…

And So It Begins – Again
Sleyed the warp this morning and started weaving again. The first scarf is going to be this simple diamond pattern in order to check to make sure I had no threading or sleying oopsies. I had one sleying error – in the very last dent! Easy to fix. And some tension issues, which were handily…

Deja Vu
With both looms needing warps and feeling somewhat better after a couple of trips to the chiropractor I got the sample warp for my student onto the loom yesterday and today. With just one student I’ve found that it’s not a bad thing to dress the loom for them first, let them get the feel…
