Weaverly

Happy Camper

First warp in the new house. Here's the beaming...

...and threading...

...seen from the front...

...and finally the weaving. This makes me so happy! Blessings on the movers, who took such good care of my loom and all my tools.

Not a single threading or denting error. That's a very good omen, I'm thinking.

Once Begun, Half Done

I started a new warp today. This is exactly half. The second half will be all orange, so the stripes will fall out asymmetrically. 

Straight draw on 16 shafts. I think I will weave it in various crepe weaves (see sidebar) & other goodies from handweaving.net.

It feels so good to be back at work!

 

 

We're There!

Whoopee! Patience rewarded. In the new house at last. After a week, we have Internet service. The unpacking proceeds at a snail's pace, but it does proceed. Here is my new studio, in part:

I assembled all the metal shelves without tying myself into knots. Pat, you were right, the cones tend to tumble over, but after putting down bamboo mats, everything's more stable (must order more bamboo mats).

Took a break this morning and did a long walk on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Very cold & windy, but the camellias are in full bloom. The camellias of South Carolina continue to amaze this New Jersey girl, even after all these years. 

My apologies to all who have asked how to subscribe to my blog. Short answer: I don't know! Typepad has been singularly unhelpful in solving this conundrum. Meanwhile, I ask that you just bookmark me. And please post comments, or send me emails! I love to hear from you, and I usually answer within a day or two. I've been blogging for over ten years, and my stats tell me that you are out there. Keep in touch. And happy weaving.
