Getting Over My Fear Of Weaving

It has been a year & a half since I went to take a beginners weaving class at the Surrey Arts Museum. Since then I have done nothing with my weaving. I have just looked at my 2 looms & felt fear. Fear that I have gotten over my head & I don't feel like I know what I am doing. So last week I decided that I was tired of living with the fear, pulled out my Deborah Chandler DVD & book. I turned on the DVD & followed her instructions on how to do the sampler.

So this first picture is the warp of 2 yards long!


This next one is the warp braided!


I warped the loom from front to back!



So now I am weaving a sampler & really enjoying what I am doing. After this one I have decided to do another sampler & then I have a project that I have had ready to do for a year that I will do!! They are napkins.

I also want to use some of my own spun yarn in a project down the road!! Yeah I have taken the plung!!
