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.

FTB vs BTF Debate
Coral weft The annual (bi-annual?) debate on front to back or back to front beaming is raging on at least one of the chat groups I belong to. It generally begins by a frustrated newbie posting a) they’ve dropped their cross, can they salvage it; b) their warp is a snarled knotted mess with broken…
