Red Towels, Finished
Not sure why this photo looks so fuzzy on the blog – it looked fine in my Kodak software. Oh well……. These are the 100% cotton towels, woven last – October? My how time flies. Anyway, I got them wet finished and pressed today. They will be used as gifts for anyone buying a copy…

More Stash Reduction
I suppose that if I hadn’t included the blue in my first red warp, I’d have been able to use up all of the 2/18 red cotton in one warp, but I did so I had lots of red left over. Since stash reduction is one of my primary goals right now, and I’d decided…

Weaving for therapy
After years of weaving for income, for intellectual stimulation and physical activity, weaving has now become part of my therapy. Exercise is a very important part of my life – always has been – but now I also need to exercise in order to keep my heart as healthy as can be. All the recommendations…

In the beginning…..
I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for a while, now, but since I already had a website, wasn’t sure a blog was “necessary”. This year, however, has seen some radical changes in my life and after 33 years of being a professional weaver, it is time to make some changes. While I chose weaving…
