All In A Day's Work



  Carol is back from her northern vacation, and she didn't waste any time before checking in with her student.  Lou Ann is working her way through Carol's study guide, which gives her a chance to try several different twill treadlings. 


  Liz is using twill to weave her placemats, and found a mistake about two inches back.  She's in the process of unweaving to correct her mistake. 
  This was the perfect time for Lou Ann to see how Liz spotted the mistake, and what she's doing to fix the problem. 
  A learning moment!!!!  Weavers learning from weavers!!!!


  

  Ray is using a temple to keep his edges from pulling in on his double weave project.  It's slows down the weaving, but the results are worth it!

  Marilyn keeps knocking out those placemats on the black warp. 
  Earlier, Tina and Marilyn had their heads together trying to solve a problem with Marilyn's new Inkle loom.  Sounds like they came up with a solution!




  Laura is back from her vacation, too.  Now, it's back to the loom!  I think she got a lot accomplished today!

  Alyce is working on her fringes....slow and steady is the way to go!







   He's off and running.....er....make that WEAVING!    In fact, he was so intent on weaving that he wove about 2 inches too much for this placemat!!!!  He'll just unweave those 2 inches next Tuesday, and then weave the hem!!!!  Way to go, Carl!












   We are excited:  each of those bags contain 100 key rings for the 2020 Convergence here in East Tennessee!  We are getting so close to reaching our goal of 1,000!

  Patty spent today putting the tags on completed key rings, and counting the next bag of 100.  We're still cutting and sewing at home, and next week we'll back at tagging and bagging again!






 I don't always get to the back corner to get a good picture of Betsy.....she just sits back there with Jocelyn and weaves away.  I missed Jocelyn today, but I think I got a good shot of Betsy!
  I really like those colored bands on the placemats that she is weaving.



  Pearl enlisted Tina's help to add some heddles to the Wolf Pup she'll be weaving on for her newest project.  You know how it is....when you weave Atwater Bronson, you need a lot of heddles on the first harness.  Now it's time to thread!
  Sharon is starting a new scarf--she's using black for the weft this time.  This will really make those colors pop!  (I promise a picture next week!)
  Bonnie is missing Shirley and Ms. Ila.......but, there's always a lot of folks to talk to!

Such a great way to spend your Tuesday!!!!
Happy Weaving!
LouAnn
