		<description><![CDATA[I have to tell you that a big part of my joy in weaving comes from my love of fine wooden tools. I love the color and grain of wood, and the way it feels in my hands.

		<description><![CDATA[In ZATI The Art of Weaving a Life, Susan Barrett Merrill equates weaving an amulet with setting an intention.  It becomes the container for the fragile, young intention. It brings focus to our thoughts, and when it is woven, it becomes a tangible symbol, keeping the intention real, making it less elusive.
Now that I have [...]]]></description>

This little  bowl was woven on my Journey Loom, using Recycled Sari silk yarn and cotton [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was resigned to hanging the dutiful square little color gamp on the wall behind my loom. After I hemmed the top and fringed the bottom, of course. How traditional and ordinary. That was how I felt about the entire exercise. It was just ordinary.  I was ready to move on.
First, I needed a rod [...]]]></description>

The color gamp is history, and I suppose I did learn something from it, if only to discover that I don&#8217;t like regular stripes of  huck lace.  What I do like is a random melange of soft Egyptian cotton for weft  (Thanks, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As time passes, weaving becomes more about process and less about the technology.  Soon, I&#8217;ll be weaving on a simple stick loom, and spinning wool using a rock and a stick.
Wait, I do use a simple stick loom.
 
This is a Journey Loom.  It comes apart into a bundle of seven sticks, and fits in a [...]]]></description>

I have a bad habit of saying that I want to hurry up and get the loom dressed so that I can weave. When I say that, I am treating the entire preparation process as something of lesser value than passing the shuttle back and forth. Yes, to weave means to create cloth out of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I saw the Weavettes looms at Rhinebeck in 2002, I was living in a pied-à-terre and really missing my floor loom at home. I thought that weaving these small patches might give me solace. I also thought that I might be able to weave on the train.

Weaving on the train proved to be impractical. [...]]]></description>
