Of course by then, I hope to be weaving a soft, sumptuous, drape-y scarf that would seem wrong, wrong, wrong as a bag!!<br /><br />I am really pleased with how well my devoting 10 hours a week to my studio practice has been going. I'll probably blog about it soon - but it's been an interesting transition and it's starting to feel like it fits in better with my life.<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-15835653948214395142009-11-21T11:31:45.871-05:002009-11-21T11:31:45.871-05:00Wow - so much going on for you!

But a lot of my white yarns are going to turn color tomorrow.<br /><br />Charlotte, your sweaters are so beautiful it's no wonder you have lots of orders!! <br /><br />I'm not sure what kind of shuttles I have! Back when I started weaving (and remember I learned from a book and didn't know any other weavers), I needed to get shuttles. At the time, the exchange rate with Europe was favorable to US currency, so I found a website where I could buy a quill winder for about half the US price. The site was in another language, but had pictures. So I ordered the quill winder, and two shuttles that would fit whatever the quill winder could wind.<br /><br />They do have a little logo on them. Maybe it's a Glimakra logo. But they're my only two shuttles. So far I haven't had both looms warped at the same time, so the shuttles can follow me around the studio. But I do need to get more shuttles!! Hmmmmm....maybe they should be on my Christmas list?<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-42832809810372721122009-11-21T06:51:18.975-05:002009-11-21T06:51:18.975-05:00Ooo, lovely photos.
