The pressure to create a beautiful handwoven garment, scarf, or tablecloth from scratch with only a vague idea what it should look like can be paralyzing. Anita Luvera Mayer has some excellent advice for those scary moments: do something. . . anything.
When I put on a long warp I try to choose drafts that let me play with tie-up, treadling, weft color, and even sett to create many different designs and projects all on the same warp.
Christina stumbled upon weaving when a pottery class wasn't an option. She's glad she did.
My sett is 48 epi (4/dent in a 12-dent reed). I’m worried that if I just tie one thread to each one of the four threads hanging from each dent without taking them in their exact order, they will be twisted when I start trying to wind the warp.
I never took an actual class from her, but so much of what I know about weaving I learned from Sharon Alderman.
