hey

it's about time someone set up an internet forum for all us weavers

nice one syne

so, yeah, my name is Andrew Kieran, or humblebumble, and i blog at weave4fun.blogspot.com

i am interested in weaving for a mass-market and am handweaving until i can buy or salvage a workable automatic loom without borrowing money from evil banks

i am also going to be going to college soon at galashiels textile design school. hooray!

i make a lot of 2/2 twill scarves and plain weave rugs.

i feel very self-concious here, but never mind.

oh, hooray for weavecast! i listen to it when i'm warping or doing something else quiet. it makes me happy :)

hooray!

I have just discovered this site and I enjoyed reading your introduction, so here's mine. My name is Fern Devlin and I blog at http://buyathread.wordpress.com. I learned to weave decades ago in the New York City textile industry and worked with someone who graduated from art college at Galashiels. Read about it here http://buyathread.wordpress.com/2009/03/08/2009-weave-of-the-week-10-sample-weaving/and please don't miss Edy's comment at the end.

 

Why hello back!
