Welcome to the Weaving category! I'm Debbi - DebbiRYarn on OurUnraveled. I've been weaving for over 30 years, have a couple of articles in Handwoven magazine, teach weaving at my LYS and live with a houseful of all kinds of looms. Come on over and introduce yourself and get warped with us!

Howdy from Texas! I'm Theresa, Grammaresa on OurUnraveled. For to many years to count I was TheresaKnits, but seems that someone scooped that up on practically the first day. So I guess I really am starting fresh! I've only been weaving for about 10 years. Bought a book and a loom and never looked back. Now I have two floor looms, a table loom, rigid heddle, and various other small things. They live in a studio we built a couple of years ago next to the house. It's been really nice to have all my stuff in one place for the first time ever! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone is working on. I weave a lot of dishtowels and table runners, but am currently working on baby blankets for three upcoming showers.-
Jealous! I SO want a small house and a large studio. Maybe someday. -
When we moved four years ago we downsized by almost half and closed all our storage units. It was a real wake up call to see exactly how much craft stuff I have. But it's wonderful not having the house cluttered up all the time. -
Grammaresa, we did the same thing over the last 2 years. We had a bigger house and I had a 12x20 outbuilding as a studio. It was harder packing up, organizing and culling out that building than it was for our regular house, so I totally get where you are coming from.

Thank you, oldeworldfibres, Here are links to the editions.
I did the Wandering in the World overshot scarf in the January/February 2017 edition and the Sunny South Scarf in the November/December 2015 edition.Comment

Thank you, all!
oldeworldfibres, I love doing name drafts. I make baby blankets for Very Special Babies in 16-shaft double weave using the baby's name. I almost never use the name draft exactly as it looks at first. I almost always tweak it. That's part of the fun, though!

Just found my way from the first Ourunraveled. I'm Susan in San Diego, have about one more year till I retire and weave full-time. Have been weaving since I was 20. Yes I know how lucky I am. Our guild has a Master Weaver program which I completed. This summer our daughter moved out to attend University in a different city. We are replacing carpets with vinyl planks, I am turning her bedroom into a weaving studio - guest room, and currently deleting all my posts from the other place before leaving it. So when all that is finished I will be more active here. It will be a busy summer. Currently hemming towels for many July birthday presents.Comment

Hi everyone. I'm here. I have been weaving about 5 years, spinning for 10 (one of the reasons I started weaving..wish I had started earlier). I have a 10" cricket, a 4 shaft Artisat, a 32"Ashford Rigid Heddle and lots of small tapestry looms (can't resist them at thrift shops).Comment

Hello everyone! My name is Kathy. I have been sewing and crocheting since I was around 8 years old. I dipped my toe into weaving almost 4 years ago and loved it. I mostly weave on my Louet David and Louet Erica looms. I have other looms, which I'll probably sell, but I think I found what I really like in the David and Erica. I enjoy every aspect of weaving, from design to cloth.Comment

Welcome, welcome, Kathy7661 , Bettymo , camelheights and Floppy2! I'm glad everyone made their way over here. I'm just now logging in after a crazy-busy day at work and hoping to enjoy a little weaving time. I'm trying to get used to the new digs, too. I know Name_Null has big plans and I'm excited to see how our home grows.Comment

May I please join shuttles pilots?
I have been weaving for about eight years. I started on ridged heddle looms so I could use up my yarn stash from knitting. About five years back I used my inheritance to purchase a Saroi loom which I like the best. It's name is Katy, in honor of my mother. Four years back I got a Schacht four shaft table loom on a stand that I call Shatzy (sweety in German). I haven't really used Shatzy as much because she scares me.
I do have to confess that I am a bit scatter brained. In June I put a five yard warp on Katy, wound the bobbins in order since the yarn was variegated and I wanted the color to match up. When I went to get my boat-shuttles they had disappeared. I tore the room apart looking for them. Today I went to do some sewing and in the box of sewing thing were my shuttles. I am so happy but so embarrassed. Now I get to weave up the cotton that is on my loom and make the summer jacket with it in time for fall.
I can pilot a shuttle just not park it well.
Normal is just a town in Illinois, far from where I live.Comment
