Hi Caroline,

I know that there are some people in Australia who have been trying out some Saori weaving.  I'll look up some of their blogs or websites and get back to you.  I don't know if they are close to you or not.

Happy Weaving,

Terri on the West Coast of Canada where we are having sunny summer days right now (sorry to hear about the bitter cold!)

Welcome!  I thought it made sense to port over the Ravelry group to this brand-spanking new whifty social networking site for weavers. So, tell me, what would you like to see in next week's issue of WeaveZine?

Glenda,

I too have a new Kromski. The best way to melt them is with a candle. They take a few seconds to "melt" together. Some friendly advice: make sure all the strings are exactly the same size! Mine were off just a bit and it will throw your warp off. I also repalced my wooden dowels with metal ones. Although the company replaced my extremley warped wooden dowels  the metal seem to work better for me.

Good luck with your new Harp!

Hi!  I live near Harrisburg, PA and I have been weaving about one year.  I mostly make things using color and texture in plain weave, but I am starting to plan more complicated projects.
