All day Friday I FINALLY got to take Deborah Jarchow's class - Learn Rigid-Heddle Weaving and Use up Your Stash. I waned to take this years ago but then Stitches stopped happening. *pout* What a cool day!
Deborah setting up the class. Everyone chose for 4 types of looms.
The yarn I bought thinking I had met the 2-ply requirement. What was missing with the strength requirement for beginners. I can probably use this later, but not the first time I warp.
The Cricket I used.
Some tools I brought
I forget which folding one this was next to me
Deborah teaching
On the plus side I did get to use her ball winder and wind my skeins.
What I wound up using for my scarf
Deborah demonstrating what we would be doing
Mine and my table mate's warp. I really don't think this is going to be a very long scarf.

Now I cut all the ends? Serious?
Then we tie them on and wrap them in. Someone else's warp.

So many warps
So many ideas. The ones you don't like - wait until you see the weft

Srating to waeve. I am using a multicolor yarn - should make it interesting
Didn't start off very well, but getting the hang of it
Deborah showing us some tips
Someone was a fast weaver
Look how the choice of warp makes these beautiful stripes
What happens when you take it off is cut it?
Does this woman know my fear of cutting things?
Another student's scarf
My scarf off the loom. You can see where I was too tight at the beginning, so I did that at the end too to make it a "thing"
Here it is drying after I washed it
Still drying. I tied my ends, trimmed them and left them long. Many students cut them short.
