More Weaving

I had my second class yesterday with Carl Goss and I actually started weaving this time!

We finished setting up the loom first of course. I still had to slay the Reed:



And tie the warp on to the front apron stick



And weave some fabric to get everything evened up



And then it was time to weave!



My sides are a bit uneven, but I love how the fabric looks!



I'm off to New Orleans today for work, but I can't wait to come home and weave more at the next class!
Have good week!

Not another hobby!

It's true! I've been bitten by yet another bug of the crafting variety. I'm taking a weaving class!

I'm taking my class at Carly Goss Studios in Baltimore. I love that I found an alternative to The Mannings full week weaving course. Although I would love a week of weaving - I just don't have the time off I need for that class. I opted for this one since it's on Saturdays. So for the next 6 weeks I'll be here on Saturday mornings:



I took a "pre-class" last Wednesday where I learned to make my warp (the legnthwise structure of a woven object). Saturday was spent learning how to get the warp on the loom. This is a process that is much more involved that I had expected! Take a look at some of my progress:




Next week we will finish threading the heddles, and maybe... just maybe start weaving!

I'm very excited to learn more!
