Each One, Teach One
Interest in weaving as a craft waxes and wanes. I started weaving in the mid-70s when weaving was in an upsurge. I found myself in the midst of a group of (mostly) women who were intrigued by the craft and the unexpected nuances that could be discovered in the exploration of the craft. I quickly…

Variations and Options
A threading draft is just a set of pre-programmed options which may be executed in a variety of ways. The above photo is a sampler I did for the GCW master weaver certificate. The requirement was to take a ‘traditional’ overshot threading, weave a repeat of that, then weave it in ‘rose’ fashion, then in…

And On We Go…
The conference registration is ticking along (we’d love to see more people sign up – it’s gonna be a time!) and it is time to lift my head up out of that particular deep well and start looking beyond mid-June and to what comes next. Now that I’m beginning to feel better – for however…

Experience
The scarves on the cover of TIW are woven from Tencel. I was an early adopter of Tencel. It appealed to me on a number of levels. As I put it into production, however, I found that it would sometimes behave beautifully – other times? Not so much. Since I am a rather analytic type…

Never Thought I Would See the Day
One of my earliest memories is getting my very first library card. I never thought I’d see the day when something I wrote would be in one. Our library is part of the inter-library loan agreement. Which means that if you are interested in seeing the book in real life, you can see if your…

Control
I think one of the things that many weavers have in common is a desire to be in ‘control’. We aim for perfection and we are disappointed when we fail – yet again – to be ‘perfect’. It was a revelation to me just how much control I needed and how much the craft of…

Ripples
I have – more than likely – shared more than I should have in terms of getting this book ‘born’. OTOH, it’s my blog, I get to vent how and when I want, so one final post about The Intentional Weaver (I lie, I’ll probably bring it up again, but the conference is about to…

Next!
Today the last of the padded envelopes will be taken to the post office. Tomorrow the multiple copy orders will be mailed. They don’t qualify for the small packet rate and require different customs forms, so it is just easier to deal with those last. Once the ‘dust’ of dealing with the books is over,…

Mommeee! It’s Overrrrrr!!!
The Introductory Offer is over. Has been since Dec. 21, 2018. I extended that period for a few people who emailed me saying they’d only just heard the news and could they, pretty please? Since I ordered ‘extra’ hard copies for sale at the ANWG conference I accepted a few more orders based on the IO.…
