New

  Off with the old....on to the new! 
Mary finished her first warp, and she was so ready to cut it off the loom!  She is taking over the white placemat warp on the Leclerc counterbalance loom.  She wove the hem and started on the body of the placemat this afternoon.  Ah, yes...weaving on a floor loom is so much fun!!!!












  Meanwhile, Elizabeth is threading her first warp:  4, 3, 2, 1.  Just keep going....you'll get to weave soon, Elizabeth!

 

  Four of our weavers have volunteered to be trained to be shop workers.  Peggy, Pearl, Liz and Marilyn spent the day with Susan learning the ropes. 













    This is Margi's new-to-her Baby Wolf.  She's been watching the ads, and when this one came up, she jumped on it.  It's been awhile since Margi warped a loom, so Carol is helping out with the task.










It was business as usual for Bonnie and Ms. Ila.  The "snakeskin" pattern has a long repeat, so they really concentrate while they're weaving.









  Stick shuttles????  Oh, yes, we have a few!
Marie and Pat decided to clean out the storage, and before we knew it, the counter was FULL of stick shuttles!!!!!
(It never fails:  we get a donation from an older weaver and there is a truck load of stick shuttles!  Do you think they actually used them?  Or, did they get them from another old weaver?)

  The Inkle band project is coming right along.  I brought my Inkle today to join in on the fun.
  Tina finished her band, and Betsy is making headway.



 











  Tina and I warped our looms with the same colors, but different patterns.

  These are the rolls of finished bands ready to be made into keyrings.












  There's always time to catch up with friends.......










  Now that the warp is behaving, Ray has been getting some weaving time.  It seems to me that doubleweave takes twice as long to weave.









  We all celebrated Tina's finished shag rug.  It's a masterpiece!!!!  I'm sure she'll blog about it later this week.

Have a wonderful week!
