Hi.  Kimberly from Lawton/Ft Sill chiming in.  I love to weave, spin, knit, and paint my own yarns.  Will be doing a huge run of cotton this week and I can't wait.  We've moved into a new house and I have my own loom room and inside dye area.  No more trying to do it on my carport in 110 degree heat.  Yippee.

 

I wish there were more weaver's closer to me as I don't get a chance to head north very often. 

 

Where's everyone else located.

 

(oh and I sure hope I did this post correctly)

So excited that Weavolution is up and running!  I have a new tapestry on the loom, a new wall hanging on a floor loom in the loom studios at the Southwest School of Art and Craft, and a new rigid heddle loom.  I'm set!

 Hooray!  I'm already rejoicing in how good and beautiful and fassssst my weaving will become.  :-)

I'm almost six feet tall so lots of my questions are around staying comfortable (i.e. avoiding pain and cramps) while threading.  And since I'm about to start threading a new warp with 678 ends I'm highly motivated to continue to improve ergonomically.  

In general I've found that I'm more accurate if I'm more ergonomic, so it's like a double dose of goodness.

Me too!

It was a bit of a hassle using Ravelry for weaving; I'm really looking forward to this since I do more weaving than knitting. :-)

 (Psst... did you know the RH Yahoo group is doing a weave-along?)

I've been a weaver forever, but know only a small handful of other weavers. I feel like I've been in a cave for twenty years and I'm blinking in the sunshine. Pleased to meet you!

Just got my first rigid heddle loom last month (a 12" Ashford Knitter's Loom) and I love it!  Have only had time for one warp so far but I love how portable it is and how easy to warp so I'm sure I'll be using it a lot over the summer.

You can see how my first RH project went here: http://scarfaday.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-snrh.html

I just saw that there is a group  specifically devoted to CM looms.  You might be interested in posting your question there as well.

I noticed there wasn't an Arkansas group yet so I made one. Anyone else out there?
