Notes FROM THE Fell

摘要

I love planning a project from the beginning and warping my loom. I know this sounds crazy, but I probably enjoy planning and warping more than the weaving itself. When the woven project starts to resemble the idea I have in my head, I am ready to move on and start the next project. Therein is my justification for having multiple looms: I need them. When I've finished weaving a piece, I stabilize the ends by weaving in some waste material, remove it from the loom, and then clean up the loom so I can re-warp. I sometimes leave projects unfinished for weeks on end before going back and tying knots for fringe or rolling hems. Finishing is my least favorite part of the weaving process. I admit it. For me, it's much the same as cleaning up the kitchen after a marvelous meal. Fun to cook and make the mess, but all those dishes afterwards. Ahhhh!
