Scary Warps
Doug has done some more tweaking to the loom and I’m dressing it with another painted warp for scarves so I can double check the live weight tension system, which also seems to need a bit of tweaking. I had wrapped the cable in one direction and found that it was creeping towards the warp.…

Red Hot!
Getting a good picture of this cloth is a bit of a challenge – red on red? Especially on the loom. But I think it’s looking good, and it’s weaving up quite nicely. this afternoon and evening I managed 3.5 towels. I think that makes me 1/10th the way through this warp. I need to…

Quiet
The looms have been quiet for a very long time but I am about to go fire up the AVL and see if I can weave again without triggering more issues with my lower back and hip. It is also quiet because a friend who came to visit for the weekend left on the early…

Community Ties
One of the benefits of the internet is the ability to stay in touch with people at a distance – sometimes at great distance. During the summer Bobbie Irwin came through town and we managed to connect with each other for an all too brief visit. As part of the visit I gave her a…

A Little Good News?
Remember this? Yes, it’s still on the loom. However, I did manage to get to the loom yesterday – not a full session, but still – and since things didn’t seem to be any worse today, have just now finished another session. But rather than leave the computer at the loom on, I shut it…
