Today Lou Ann and I will be heading to the Museum of Appalachia, to add a bit of realism to the truly charming landscape we have come to love. The only problem is that it is raining cats and dogs as I type these words. We will be inside the Peter's Cabin, but the kiddos will be dodging raindrops! This is going to be interesting.
This week I finally got that stinkin Bread Cloth warp ready to weave, or so I thought. I found a few crossed threads, and then I found this.
My laces are not lacing! Evidently, I need to think twice before I try to switch up a 4 harness pattern to use all 6 harnesses.
I am this close to cutting this baby off and putting it into the circular file! Really I am! It is either that or just do plain weave with stripes.
I walked away and decided to put a Hollywood rug warp that I have had on hold thru a spare reed that I have. I have been acquainting myself with one of the new to me blogs that appeared in our blog list. It is called Re-New, and Julie mainly weaves rugs.
I have gone thru all 5 years of posts in just a few days, and now I want a rug loom! I had two of those a few years ago, but sent them to new homes in a mad dash to declutter my studio. Sheesh, I think I'm out of my mind!
I do have 3 floor looms, but none of them are good for weaving rugs. The 8 harness loom might really be heavy enough to do it, but the brake slips on that one. If I can't come up with one soon, I will give it a try.
Now to dash through the raindrops to load my stuff into the car. Today probably won't be a good one for pictures, but I will see if I can get one or two.
Until next week, Happy Crafting, Tina

Just ignore that mean ole warp for a wee bit....the solution will become clear! (Ask me how I know that!!!!) I'll keep my eyes and ears open for a rug loom.....
Of all the things I have woven, rugs were my least favorite but then again, I didn't have a true rug loom either! Hope you find the perfect one!
