Weaving, day 7: A good time had by all

No, I didn't finish the entire set of exercises, but only the first nine. I will finish the others though, because they are progressively more interesting and have actual application in the creation of handwoven, unique clothing.

It was a busy day but a lot of fun. In the last half hour, Margaret had us loosen the tension on the looms and unwind the finished fabric so it could all be seen. Then we went around the room to examine and discuss the variety of results and the different approaches taken by different participants. I'm pleased to say that mine compared quite favorably with the rest, and I was not the only one who didn't finish. Only one weaver reached the fifteenth exercise.

I promise a photo of the finished sampler soon. It's interesting enough that I won't be letting it sit for long.

Brought all the tools and the loom back home, with Gary's help, and unloaded 171 bales of hay that have been waiting since last Sunday. Went out to check the garden and brought back a handful of snow peas and two oversized zucchini. Fortunately we know what to do with these guys, and while it may not be pretty for them it will be tasty for us. ;p
