The Hive Mind

 ****Quick note to "B" about your comment.  Send the pictures to:

  As many of you might have noticed, we are a group that meets once a week, and we often have new weavers joining us.  Some of our new folks already know how to weave, and they join us for the sense of community.  Some folks join us because they want to learn about this fiber craft.  All are welcome.  We are all in different places in our weaving journey.  But, we have so much to learn from each other.


I overheard Ruth giving Rachel some information, and jokingly said, "Is this the blind leading the visually impaired?"  That got some laughter!  But, even our new weavers share what they learn with others.




    Ruth found that this nifty tool used by many knitters comes in handy for weaving.  Come to find out, several other weavers already knew about this!!!!






  We were so glad to have Pat back with us today.  We have missed her!  (She's a great source of weaving information!)

  Would you believe that this is Betsy's first time on a floor loom???  She worked out her treadling for the blue-green mug rug project and sat right down to weave.  It turned out lovely!



  Sharen worked with Carol to find out how to make the seam for her mobius shawl.  This is one of the hand-dyed bamboo warps from last year.  Sharen wove it on her loom at home.  It's so lightweight...perfect for this time of year.




  Marilyn said she needed help with her serger, and Marie sat down today and worked on it.  It does help if it is threaded correctly!  (They can be finicky!)





    You can see the blocks forming on Bonnie's summer winter towel.  That aqua has such a calming look.




  The "hive" came through for Patty's craft booth next week.  Fiber folks will have a lot of choices.

  Her Inkle Loom weaving class is full, so I know she'll have a good time.



  Just for the "Ahhh" factor, meet Biscotti.  Margi got her from a rescue, and this is part of her socialization.  We are all in LOVE!!!


Have a wonderful week...happy weaving!
