Hello, I'm down to the wire getting ready for the second session of a weaving class that I am taking. I took a semester long weaving class back in the 70's and fell in love with weaving, being a fiberholic. Got a loom in the 80's but experienced weaving interruptus while I was raising my kids, not being a stellar multi-tasker. I am just now getting to use my loom, now that my girls are grown and off to college. In the class I am taking, I am a bit of a renegade wanting to try more challenging patterns. I am about to embark on creating a design for place mats using the wandering vine pattern out of Davision. Not sure if it's going to work. Found your stuff on Weavolution and was inspired by your Purple Onions table runner. I am trying to use up fiber that I have on hand. I have a Lily 24/3 cotton for the warp (it's a strong fine rug warp type yarn) and I have a 20/2 cotton for the weft??? I'm thinking maybe that should be doubled, but being inexperienced, I am not sure.
Anyway, loved your purple onions table runner. Enjoyed visiting your site. I have 2 Black Angus heifers, about 30 chickens. We had horses but not enough time for them. Looking for horses again, cautiously.
