This summer I took a weaving class. I really enjoyed it. As well as learning lots of great things, I got to get out of the house for a couple hours, every week for two months!
I learned a much more effective way of getting the threads from the warping board to the loom. When I did it in the past, I made a huge tangled mess and often spent days untangling all the thread. Now, I know a better way and know how to use lease sticks. So far, I've threaded my home loom two or three times since starting the class and it has gone so much better.
During class, I made two projects. The first was a table runner that is about 7 feet long and 14 inches wide. It's impractical for me to use it on my table at home (kids and cat), but it's pretty. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it.
The second project was going to be a long scarf. Well, it's long, about 10 feet long! It's made with a pretty cotton/rayon thread in shades of purple. My computer isn't liking my camera card right now, so I don't have pictures on my computer, but I'll work on that so I can get some pictures of my latest projects up.
