About me

A longtime knitter turned weaver. I came to it recently and it has become quite an obsession. Like most, I have more looms than I should or than I have room for, but I try to ensure that each one has something interesting going at all times.

I love all kinds of weaving and have explored many, with the sole exception being tapestry. That really intimidates me. I'm equally at home designing my own fabrics as I am working through some cool project in the latest Handwoven or Vavmagasinet issue. Since obtaining a wonderful countermarche loom, I have become quite enthralled with exploring techniques and traditions of scandinavian weaving. So many of my problems and obstacles with weaving have been solved by incorporating those methods, most especially where warping is concerned.

I'm always up for a discussion on weaving and will certainly look to impart any knowledge or tidbit I can if it will inspire others to weave. Feel free to chat me up!
