Can You Hear The Hummmmmmmm


  When you step into the Studio from the outside, you're greeted with this lovely hummmmmm of folks working together.  Just look around!  Some folks are weaving, some are warping their looms, and some have other projects to work on while they're in Studio on Tuesdays.  This is the time to learn from others.









  We're not back to 100% yet, but most of our looms were busy today.  And, it's time to start thinking about our long range goals for production.













 Come to find out, Pat is her own "loom elf".  She got her warp on the loom before our Christmas break, and today she was busy winding it onto the warp beam.

















  Peggy came to the end of her warp today.  That's three scarves and some leftover fabric!!!






  Patty and Bonnie had the back row humming with the sound of weaving.  (Sometimes the Gilmore releases too much weft when you tap the brake!  That just means you have to get up and go around to the back, which can be a challenge!)

  Tina discovered some 8/2 natural that had gotten under Mary's loom.  She rescued the tubes, and they're up for grabs for a towel warp.






  Hey, Sharon!  Did you hear that????  Are you going to do a run of Friendship Towels?????  I know where there is some 8/2!
  Sharon is nearing the end of her scarf warp, so that may just be what is next for her!













  Our "students" are doing so well, I doubt we can call them students any longer!
  Charlotte keeps on weaving at home and bringing lots of lovely items!  She is really enjoying using up leftover yarn!




   Carol, Lou Ann and Marilyn had a discussion going on......I didn't find out what the subject was!!!!  Do you think it was weaving related????



   









  Ah, yes!  It was our first potluck of the year!  And, one of the stars was Ms. Ila's 7Up Cake!  I didn't get a picture of Tina's apple pie, but, it, too, was a people pleaser!!!!




  And, if you were lucky, you fixed a take home bowl!!!

We have so much to look forward to in this new year, and I'm sure you'll hear a lot about it!

Happy Weaving!
LouAnn
