    New Tech

    digital cover of Issue 2 I recently updated Windows with the help of a friend, and I’m still discovering new ways Windows doesn’t work like it used to do.  :P~ However, here is the cover of the next copy of WEFT.  Yes, I have a small contribution in it.  😀 I got the 2nd issue…

  • Tugging at the Thread

    Tugging at the Thread

      Recently a ‘new’ weaver asked about teaching others in an ‘informal’ setting. I thought about that for a while and decided that, with an ‘informal’ setting, it doesn’t really matter where you begin. The craft is so huge, the complexity vast, the ‘it depends’ questions never ending – you just need to jump in…

      I think I’ve decided on this for the next warp.  Still mulling over my colour options, which are, shall we say, limited?   Never mind. This is a re-take of an idea I had a couple years ago when I was working through that ‘advancing twill block’ structure – although I didn’t realize it until…

    Making Changes

      This is the potential ‘right’ side of the cloth currently on the loom.  Of course I did not enter the colours I used – I can visualize what that will look like, well enough, plus I can now look ‘under’ the web to see them more clearly.  But, overall, I’m pleased enough with this.…

  • Not All The Same

    Not All The Same

      I’ve been answering questions for a long time, even when I only knew a ‘little’ bit, and I’ve seen many of the same questions – and assumptions – presented for a very long time.  The additions to the weaving community tend to come in ‘waves’, and every few years I find myself addressing the…

      Still playing around with ‘snowflake’ twills. I kind of like this one, even though it’s pretty ‘simple’ for a ‘fancy’ twill.  Since the fall last year, my brain has been constrained processing information, and several warps I wove through the winter wound up with threading errors in them.  Most of them were not detected…
