A Few of the Week's Accomplishments in the Shop
/
Baby blankets still on the loom.
Baby blankets off the loom and finished. I put on a 21 yard warp and wove 14 blankets. 
I hemmed some this time instead of leaving short fringe. I'll be interested in seeing what buyers like best. The rest are shown on this page.
I taught several classes this week.
This is WWW (Weekly Weaving Workshop), sometimes known as Wednesday Weavers Workshop, or Warped Women Weaving, or....It could go on. It is a drop-in class and we usually discuss any questions that people bring up about anything weaving and yarn related. (Some people come for a therapy session with friends.) Last week I said that I'd teach how to read weaving drafts. Those are the "recipes" for weaving patterns. This week we'll look at drafts for "color and weave" effects.
On Friday I taught a rigid heddle weaving class. This is Tanda with her beautiful new scarf woven of Jaggerspun Zephyr yarn on her rigid heddle loom.
On Saturday and Sunday I taught a spinning class. I can't believe I didn't take photos. That was followed by an interview about Fibershed for a well-known (in the fiber world) magazine. You'll hear more about that when it's published.
When I'm working in the shop or at the computer all day, instead of in the barn, I try to make sure I go for a walk or a bike ride with Rusty. That's good for both of us. I'd probably get more exercise if I didn't take my camera because I always get distracted by the view...
...whether it's close-up or...
...in the distance.
