Reluctant Serger and Project Progress

We had a very reluctant member of the team this morning! The auto threading mechanism didn't want to work and it seemed like it was blocked! After rereading the instructions it became apparent that we read them wrong the first time, now all is well!

Here are some progress pictures on the looms. Chris is threading her project and on the loom next to her one of the other new weavers is already weaving.

Joycelyn is threading her colorful warp and Bonnie is almost ready to start weaving her towels!

Mark is threading the warp we put on last week and John Paul is working hard to finish the warp on the Studio Rug loom so that we can put another 40-60 yard warp on it!

Now it is time for Show and Tell! Dana has been away for a little while, so she has a lot of show and tell today. First she has a warp chain that her son dyed on dye day and one that she dyed at the same time, then she has a towel project that she wove while she was away.

Shannon brought in some curtains that she had sewn for Barbara, and Barbara brought in shawl project she has just finished, and she and Carol are going to put on the finishing touches.

Betsy finished some towels this week and it was a stash busting project! She ran out of weft on the third towel and had to substitue a similar color, then for the 4th towel she chose black as the weft. Mark brought in a couple of napkins he wove this week, he was surprised how much the napkins shrunk in the wash.

Last week I had already published the blog and I received an email from Patty about one of the students in the evening rigid heddle class. This is Sylvia with her towels. This is only her second project on the rigid heddle loom!

That is all I have for this week, as always this is Tina for all!
