I have ...I look forward to seeing a book from you! <br />I have found that students follow one tenet my father used to say, repeatedly. <br />"Experience is non-transferable." -John Newman<br /><br />While we strive to teach shortcuts to students, which seem so darned logical to us, sometimes it's good to remind ourselves that there are those persons who do need to roll the ball uphill before they learn something else. When you feel frustrated at students who continue on as well as stubble through techniques that you have many answers for, repeat above mantra as you bang your head against the wall.<br />As it really is true. <br />😉Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-55351685201903474492015-07-27T18:12:00.177-07:002015-07-27T18:12:00.177-07:00Since it's unlikely that I'll get a chance...Since it's unlikely that I'll get a chance to take a class from you in person, I'd love to see a book from you!terrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-81328654446729345812015-07-27T10:35:19.287-07:002015-07-27T10:35:19.287-07:00I also enjoy reading your blog and hope you do beg...I also enjoy reading your blog and hope you do begin a book. I have been weaving for seven years and like you I have made lots of mistakes but I see them as part of the process. You are teaching us through your blog: a life of a weaver woven with intention. Best wishes to you for health and continued creativity.EllenFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842443387437243577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-71831595685726027972015-07-27T01:20:19.719-07:002015-07-27T01:20:19.719-07:00I'd love to see a book from you, I'm a rel...I'd love to see a book from you, I'm a relatively new weaver and am tackling new things each time I weave. At the moment it's brushed mohair, currently winding my warp onto the warping board and I can already see there will be some challenges, even with using a second cross. At the same time my son is now starting to weave (he's 12) and I've just bought him a bunch of yarn to start his own stash. At this point he's using a rigid heddle and using DK yarn; he does have access to a table loom as well though, even if it does really need some replacement parts to work at its best.Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06409673383518447394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-58810737995176834292015-07-26T18:58:26.611-07:002015-07-26T18:58:26.611-07:00Looking forward to your book.

Have had many "suggestions" from many weavers who have forgotten what it was like starting out. While I don't need the beginner books, I don't need designing on 8 shafts, or some of the more difficult "old classics". I did have a wonderful teacher who used old crosswords. she explained how each st was up or down and had us plot crosswords. Vowels up, consonants down or figure out your own code, then she would ask, would it work , and why. I miss Jan and her wisdom. Your common sense approach resonates with me. so sorry I did not find your blog earlier. (I have been reading the archives. It helps.) Thanks for all your work blogging. It is appreciated.steelwoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271763772790327210noreply@blogger.com
