HALF-WAY THROUGH THE THREADING

Posted by Peg in South Carolina 

800 heddles is the half-way point.  I have now threaded 808. 

I did think for awhile that I would never get back to this, that I would never weave again.  At least not on this floor loom.  I was busy with other things so that possibility didn’t depress me too much.  But it is good to find out that I was wrong!

I have been watching with sorrow Laura’s saga.  While I am so sorry about her foot problems and now, with her still needing to use crutches, her back issues, I also rejoice at her fortitude and her ability to find ways she can keep going.  If anyone wants or needs a model about handling adversity, it is right there in her blog, “Weaving a Life”.

Thanks, Deep End! Unfortunately I won't be back for awhile as we leave Wednesday for a two-week vacation in New Mexico. But it is SOO good to know that I can jump right back in when I return!
