Getting the hang of this

Today I have put on a warp for a scarf after sampling.  A warp without any mistakes would be good. Will find out tomorrow if I have succeeded. ..... I have decided to keep it simple - texture is the name of the game.
I once read that you should enjoy warping as much as weaving.  It can be a challenge.
Great service from The Handweavers Studio, received some yarn within 24 hours of ordering.

Working on my next project for Bradford.  Have had a few glitches with my warps and record keeping.
Some art work that I have decided not to use, perhaps next project.

Have been working with texture.  I love the shrinkage effects when you are not sure what is going to appear

My weaving journey started around 40 years ago at school in the Borders of Scotland.
I wove a piece of material that I turned into a skirt and waistcoat.
Around five years ago I was given an old loom by a friend.  I did a tester weekend with Laura Rosenweig  at Farfield Mill in Sedbergh and my new love of weaving was born.......
I bought a book and did some sampling-then I heard about a course at Bradford College.
