It Does Take A Village

 

One of the things I love about the Tuesday Weavers is how we learn from each other and jump in to help each other.

  Marie took over teaching duties on Phyllis's rigid heddle as she dressed her RH for the first time.  Judy wanted to know more about it, so she was there to help.




  Pat had wound her new warp and was getting it on the back rod.  Over and over again folks asked her if she wanted some help!  No....she would wait until next week when we WIND it on!  All hands on deck!




 

  She wanted to get as much done as possible since she would be leaving early.  Laurie, Pat's sister-in-law, is visiting from Idaho!  I'm sure they have a lot of adventures planned for today.







Now this group....

  They are always up to something!!!  It looks like Shirley is getting ready to put on a new warp.  We'll have to find out next week what she's going to weave.  You can bet she'll have a lot of help getting the warp on the loom!





  Kathy is enjoying the threading process on her loom.  She has been a rigid heddle weaver for a couple of years but was looking to weave some different patterns.  I think she'll do just fine. 







  Patty is busy cutting off some rugs and tying slip knots on the warp.  We don't want it to slip through the reed!

  Barbara is using those cloth strips for her weft.  The placemats are lovely!







  Patty had five rugs on the cloth beam.  The red one near the door was woven by Mary.  The other four were woven by Patty.

  You should have heard everyone admiring them.  A lot of the weavers had never seen a Hollywood rug.





  Betsy is finishing up the red weft, and she'll be starting the second blanket using blue.

  Jocelyn has started on the leftover warp on this scarf warp.





  Jocelyn received a small skein of qiviut from a good friend who thought she might like to weave with it.  But, Jocelyn has a friend who knits like an angel!  Tina turned the small skein into a lacy cowl instead.

Oh, my!!!  It's so soft!



  It's just Pearl.....that's her "don't interrupt me" look!






  Our village at work!  Patty is helping Shannon dress her loom.  It goes so much faster when you have help.

  Sharon is back to work finishing the scarf warp.


From my village to yours:  Happy Weaving!
