thanks : ) i just wanted to learn something new, take a class of some sort since i'm not in school right now. the weaving works is less than a block away from us, so i decided to check out the classes they offered. it never occurred to me to learn how to weave before i glanced over the list of courses but it intrigued me so much that i signed up.
i think the most difficult part of weaving is getting the loom set up (aka warping the loom) and determining how much yarn (or whatever it is) that you'll need...there is always loom waste and sometimes there is pull-in on the edges and sometimes there are other factors you have to take into consideration. it can take about 1.5-2 hrs. to warp the loom and it can be tedious, but with a little music playing in the background and with a break every now and then, it's not a big deal. or hasn't been so far. after the loom is warped, the actual weaving is a piece of cake. it's so fun!!
that's beautiful!! i am really impressed, plus it seems like weaving would be a very relaxing activity. i am excited to see future projects, cause this one is gorgeous.
