Warped.... and not just in the head!!!

I found out that the Surrey Heritage Museum was having Weaving level 1 courses. So I signed up & also applied for a scholarship though my Weavers & Spinners Guild. I got the scholarship which paid for a portion of my course. 
I am so glad I am taking to class. It is giving me confidence I did not have. I had bought a LeClerc Compact 24" loom last August & was feeling quite overwhelmed. With taking this course I am getting the visual learning that I find I need. The lady that is teaching is in my guild so I was familiar with her & was excited to learn from her. There are 7 of us & we are all having a blast.

So the first picture is my warp on the warping board. It is a variegated 
(blue,lilac color) The other two pictures are of my loom all dressed up & ready to weave!! Cool huh??!!!?!!

Like I need another craft to love but God gave me a love for yarn & another way to use it will be very useful!!
