Thanks for posting this. A great mix of old 'n' new; seeing a modern draft sitting next to an old one.

I always get a pleasant 'zzzz' of excitement when I see old things juxtaposed to their modern counterparts, for a practical use.

You say this draft was compiled for Early Books Draft/Sample Exchange. Am I right in thinking you refer to a Complex Weavers Study Group? Or do you mean some other Weavers group?

Any more details would be greatly appreciated!

Beth, yep, I am referring to Complex Weavers' study group.  Sorry, I was focused on the subject at hand and forgot to put that in.  

Here's a link to why one would want to join Complex Weavers

Here's the link where one CAN join Complex Weavers

Here's a link to all the study groups that exist within Complex Weavers

One can merely JOIN Complex Weavers and receive the Complex Weavers Journal three times a year.  Lurkers are welcome. Once one gets BRAVE one can join a study group to focus on a specialty.  All are rich and have strengths and different levels of activity.

One can also attend the Complex Weavers Seminar which is held every two years.  In 2012 it will be held in outside of Washington DC, here is the link for lots of info.

Full disclosure, I am the new Complex Weavers Membership Chair so I am heavily biased (in a good way)!  Deb Mc

Thanks for clarifying that the new draft was indeed created by a weaver at Complex Weavers.....I thought so!

I joined Complex Weavers 2 years ago as a novice weaver. This year I have signed up for some of the Study Groups that interested me, and am thoroughly enjoying the experience.

As a newish weaver, the more weavers I meet , the more I learn. That's one of the great things about Weavolution too....there are so many talented weavers willing to pass their weaving knowledge on to the next generation of weavers.

Keep up the good work at Complex Weavers, Deb!

Thanks, Beth
