A little over 2 years ago I taught myself how to knit. I had visions of being able to sell some of my finished goods with the hopes of raising some money for the charities I support. Any guess to the ones I support?? I am, first and foremost, an animal lover and support a few rescue charities. I would love to be able to support them all but have decided to whole hardily support a few locals ones.
Last year I discovered weaving. Four looms and stack of weaving yarn later I am slowly, but surely, learning different techniques and styles of the craft. Watching a piece of cloth develop with each pick I throw still gives me a feeling of awe and at times I often just stop weaving to look at the emerging pattern. I am not a production weaver and only weave in my spare time - sometimes it takes me a month to get a scarf off of the loom so have a bit of patience with me.
I am going to try and post about what I learn as I progress in my weaving adventures so I hope you enjoy the journey with me!
Take care, Dianne
Diane, enjoy the journey. I look forward to seeing your weaving projects. We also are big supporters of Animal Welfare and have been rescued by some lovely Old English Sheepdogs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment!! Right now I am trying to get some scarves done up for The Road Home Rescue in Vernon, BC. I have a couple done already (woven) and am working on some knitted ones as well. I've learned a lot in this last year about weaving from reading blogs such as yours. Great inspiration from them!!
