What’s important is that you do start weaving. It is a wonderful thing.

Be well!

Your writing moves me. I'm a post-stroke ex-paramedic who can do so little and who has so much undone that I have no business even thinking about weaving but last night on-line I discovered hand spinning with spindles which struck me as achingly elemental and because one thing leads to another that led me to looking at simple looms this evening and searching for information on the Journey seven-stick loom brought your words to my eyes and my heart. You have given me a lot to think about. I wish you well. “This is the loom where I weave my life.”

The background is the LI Sound, I was in Manor Park in Larchmont. A rigid heddle is one kind of loom that I've never had, but I keep eyeing them for their semi-portability. Nothing travels so well as a journey loom, and for that reason in addition to the ones I shared in my post, it is the loom I use most. Maybe your non-textile friends will never see you again, but think of all the spinners and weavers you will meet! Tell them follow the yarn that trails behind you...

I came here from your profile on Ravelry. You're work is fabulous, especially the face. Is the background the L.I. Sound? I'm in the Bronx, 5 miles from the sound. I used to weave a lot, 4 harness jack type loom. Now, I only have my Beka rigid heddle. I've started spinning again, and the weaving fever is reappearing. I'm scared; my friends may never see me again,LOL! Wow! I came here from your profile on Ravelry. You’re work is fabulous, especially the face. Is the background the L.I. Sound?
