Hi all,
I've mostly been a lurker here since I joined a few months ago. I can't tell you how many times I've looked something up here and found an answer to my question. Thanks to all of you.
To date I've only wove on my Beka rigid heddle loom that I got a few months back. It didn't take me long to realize that I would want more in a loom and just recently had the opportunity to buy a used Baby Wolf 4-shaft 6-treadle loom from a friend. I couldn't pass that up.
I haven't wove anything on it yet as I'm waiting for a few tools/accessories to arrive that I ordered. I do have a warp all ready and my first project will be plain weave rag strip placemats. I've been studying all I can on how these looms work and I feel I'm ready to go as soon as I my tools arrive. I've never been fearful to just dive right in and try something whether it is easy or more challenging.
That brings me to my question. I ordered some 8/2 cotton to weave some dish towels and for that project (the 2nd project for the Baby Wolf) I want to do Sarah Jackson's 4 blocks on four shafts, summer and winter towels from Handwoven, May/June 2013. Is this project doable for me as a beginner on this loom? I just love the look of these towels and after looking over the instructions many times, I think I understand them. How would you classify this project: beginner, advanced beginner, intermediate, challenging? As a beginner, I'm not sure what difficulty level this is considered.
Thanks!
Terri
