Weaving is such a solitary pursuit that I want to say "ok, I'm doing this in the isolation of my little weaving room - why would anybody care about what I do?" hee hee - I don't know why but I surely do know that the care A LOT!<br /><br />Of course people don't want to just be right for themselves... we tend to want to be RIGHT all the TIME. It's kind of tiring!<br /><br />I have the stuff to put a warping valet on my ceiling but I think I'm going to wait until I can get my father to make the pieces nicer than I will be able to make them myself. Of course, that means that I then have to deal with the aggravation of moving my weights every yard or so when I'm beaming... or maybe I'll see if the home improvement store has some kind of really small, really sturdy, really tall stand of some kind that I can use until Daddy can get the pieces made up all pretty?Sharon Schulzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697870972304497221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-12555705455103887862009-09-04T14:25:12.002-07:002009-09-04T14:25:12.002-07:00Laura, I am amazed at the speed your read books. ...Laura, I am amazed at the speed your read books. I am working my way through "Color - Travels Through The Paintbox". Great read, though I can only read so much at one time, as there is a lot of information. I find it very, very interesting.<br /><br />When I am not warping by sectional, my method of choice is "back-to-front", which I learned when I started weaving ... never could get the hang of "front-to-back". I agree, do what works best for you!!! As in all things in life, do what works best for you. <br /><br />Enjoy the Labour Day Weekend, we are going to have a beautiful weekend here on P.E.I. <br /><br />Weaverly yours .....

I don't have any of John Edmunds books, yet, they are all on my wish list for Christmas!<br /><br />The discussions about warping methods puzzle me a bit, I think I need to use the method that's right for me, my loom, my warp. I do it a bit different each time, trying new things, but I never yet tried dragging it through the heddles. I have never had lessons or gone on a course though, I just feel my own way. It's a slow way to learn.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-18945076558816835262009-09-04T09:31:45.939-07:002009-09-04T09:31:45.939-07:00Well said!Well said!Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474085269425896157noreply@blogger.com
