We were busy in the studio today working on the projects that are still on the looms. We've had a pretty successful 2018, and we're planning for the New Year!
Liz is getting a jump start on her "challenge" towel warp. We have challenged the weavers to weave five towels next year: one to keep, one to exchange, and three to put upstairs in the shop. Our exchange lunch will be at the end of May.
We've invited the Board to have lunch with us in January to talk about our mission as the Tuesday Weavers. Alyce, Linda, Peggy and Pearl missed the morning meeting, and Carol took time to fill them in on our plans.
Marie placed our order for 8/4 and 8/2 to start the new year. Some of our weavers took advantage of the order and stocked up, too.
On the right you can see Tina's Inkle warp nearing the end. She cut off this warp this afternoon, and it produced a five yard tape. We have a good start on our key chains for Convergence.
Pat loaded up her Inkle loom before she left today to start another warp.
Carol got all the yarn put away before we headed home today.
Linda has another green towel to add to our inventory in the shop. Keep 'em coming!!!!
The tension problem on Carl's loom was solved by chaining off the warp, and re-winding it back on the beam with an even tension. Tina worked the front of the loom while Charlotte and Bonnie worked on the back beam. (Carl is the supervisor!!!)
All is right!
Carl got the warp tied back onto the loom, and he'll be ready to weave more rugs in 2019.
We'll be taking next week off for Christmas, but a few of us will be back on New Year's day.
Have a very
Merry Christmas!!!!

Thank you Lou Ann for your dedicated management of this blog. I read it when I miss a workshop and often to see what others are doing in that crowded space whom I cannot visit even when I attend. Your cheerful countenance belies the work load behind this blog job.
Wishing all you weavers a wonderful, wondrous and fulfilling holiday season!
