I'm a bit behind too. Getting ready to take the yarn off the warping board. Chris' colors are so pretty together!

I have 6 inches!

OMG is it weaving week already? I have not quite dressed my loom yet lol I do have 200 of 320 ends wound on my warping board which is a good start :) T x

Been weaving for quite a while and have done 1 double weave throw on my Baby Wolf, but want to do a full size blanket on my Schacht. 8 harness floor loom. Do you know where I can get a pattern??

Yes I have modified a pattern to fit my loom. Thanks for your tips.

Where are the show notes. Thank you

Ashford has that shutel weave option.

Waeving tee towel on RHL. We get lots of tortoises here.

Hi Chris. Glad to see you. Doing wel here in South Africa. Stil chilli here. Supose to be spring... but we dont complain

One of my major color inspirations come from Bird pictures shared on Facebook or UA-cam. All colors go together in Nature. 😊

Ok Chris, that was 2, what if you had say 4 or 5 stinking threads, and maybe they were say some dark some light. How would you decide who goes up who goes down? Why did you split them? 😂😊 3:26

I keep my cell phone handy. That way when I see something that catches my eye, I can take a picture and make a note about the idea.

Thank you for inspiring me and making me think. Also for keeping your videos short, to the point so l have more weaving time. ❤ 😂😂😂

When my mother had a heart attack in 2014, and I was her caregiver, I pretty much had to stop all creative endeavors for a while because I was either taking care of her, or my family or just too tired. It was overwhelming at times and then I decided that I would spend 5 minutes max each day looking for something funny, beautiful, artistic or inspiring, take a picture of it with the phone on my camera and share it on social media. That "Pic of the Day" became my lifeline; it also made me a better artist. I learned to look, to frame things in various ways, and to appreciate color and texture. It has also created an inspiration photo file that I can look back on when I am feeling out of ideas.

Saw a woman come to a dead stop in the lobby at the allergy clinic Monday, causing people to stare and detour around her, to stop and admire the newly installed winter slush rug in a fabulous grey and maroon herringbone tweed/twill pattern. What a nutter. (Said person may, or may not, have been me.) Carry on.

Oooo, I'm thinking a small weaving notebook in my purse for noting inspirations! As you were talking I thought of my car, SweetPea, she is a beautiful teal color that many people comment on... Another thing is in the OWAL I'm working on, I've been delighted by the pattern that has shown up in the white on white section. Hmmmm, ideas already!

Thank You! This is such sage advice. Curiosity keeps one young at heart. Life long learning creates new connections in our brain. The satisfaction one receives after overcoming the fear of trying something new and then accomplishing it is well worth the initial struggle. I want to weave to my last day on this planet. Challenging the pink glob in my head daily is my "ACTION CREATIVE" goal. (Noticed the pun on Acton Creative :-))

🤔 not that some bees don't make round combs, but what do you do if you're looking for more of a hexagonal pattern with crisp angles? Is that not possible on a loom?

Hola!!!! Desde entre rios argentina...... Donde puedo conseguir el libro " a handweavers pattern book" Gracias!!!! Soy Liliana Rosa tejedora a telar

Thank you everyone. This was so informative.

Hi Chris, I can just say thank you. I eventualy understand the Key function of a weaving draft when use my table loom. Once again you opend up a hole new world for me. Thank you dear.

Thanks Chris and community. I would like something on weaving a rug and using thrums.

I'm half done with my heddles. I've learned a lesson, though. Black yarn is not my friend. My eyes don't like it. The placemats will be pretty but never again for black.

My lease sticks arrived on Saturday woohoo, so I am ready to create my warp and dress my loom :) I am back to work tomorrow so I hope to get at least started to dress my loom today :) T x

avocado pits turns to pink

Good Morning to everyone from Kathy in Idaho. I was going to ask you about tensel but you explained it before I asked, thank you. I agree with you on spiders, if they are in my house they are fair game and get to go for a swirly ride down the drain or in the toilet, depending on where they happen to be found. If they stay outside, they are fine, in my house, no way jose, they lose. Love the color of your towels. haven't started my weaving yet, still working on Christmas ornaments, I think I am just about done...maybe...hopefully. I am anxious to get started on the OWAL. Hope that everyone has a wonderful day and have lots of fun with your projects.

Such a good idea for a panel!

This was so useful! It never occurred to me that I didn't have to suffer when warping the loom.

Great demo. And you know how much I love being under the loom 🙃

I've been making a bunch of tea towels for Christmas gifts. But I get board seeing the same pattern. I also don't feel like the gifts are a personal if they all look the same. So, I have a rose-path threading, and I change the tie-ups every towel. Both problems solved.☺

because I have a only recently got my countermarch loom I am still getting to grips with how my tie ups work lol when I first got the loom, I really could not get my loom to actually work lol but eventually after much reading taking all the chords off to start from scratch as well as talking to the previous owner, I finally sussed it. Thank goodness cause I was almost crying thinking I had made the biggest mistake buying it. But now I have got it working and woven my first tea towels I am loving it ;) Though to change the tie ups I find it more fiddly than with a jack loom. oh well, we can't have everything I guess lol

i have a table loom i like changing the pattern of lifting the heddles, us direct can do some of these thing too

I noticed that when you were doing the twill, you didn't need a floating warp thread. That way I would be able to weave twill. Is the trick to weave from left to right when starting. Would that work on the rose path also?

Hubby just tied mine up this morning, properly, so I can do s lot of patterns. He says it's a pain😂

I like to leave my tie ups alone and change the footing. Mostly because I loathe crawling under there. LOL.

I am now limited to only one loom (Baby Wolf) with 6 treadles. I put my other one in storage to get my new loom, so I have 4 direct tie-up. I'm not sure which I like but complicated patterns aren't available on my direct tie-ups.

I have just ordered a pair of lease sticks, I hope they do not take too long to arrive so I can get dressing my loom ;) That counts as gathering my supplies right? lol I know I could probably have made do with something I possibly already have but I decided to just buy the lease sticks and be done with it lol T x

Does it matter which direction the yarn goes thru the heddles?

Good morning! We will be heading home from camping today so I will start warping tomorrow! Can't wait.

Hi newby here. Can this be done on a Rigid heddle .. guess using two heddles? 😮

You asked if anyone ever played with how hard to beat. I have been planning to play with this because I was looking at my first woven project. It had blue warp and pink weft. My beating was uneven but it made those colors look almost iridescent as different amounts of each color show through and I want to try to do that intentionally. With better habits that I have now, I might have to roll a dice to change how hard I'm beating or some other means of forcing myself to be irregular. I'll take pictures and record video of some of my process when I do it to post to my socials and the Acton Creative Facebook Group but it will have to be after October because I want to do the diamond weave along and also a skull table runner for Halloween, which is already probably too ambitious for one month!

Natural dying: I've done pomegranate, plum skins, and red amaranth. Pomegranate came out golden yellow, the other two pinks.

Sorry I missed you But catching up afterwards

Let's hear it for Cotton Clouds! They have a delicious selection of colors. Do they ship to Europe?

What would be a good guideline for sett? Also, thank you for sharing your videos! =D

hello there, Kathy from Idaho, my husband has found looms for sale a lot of times that are on the eastern side of the states, so if that is somewhere fairly close to you David you might try to look there.

Very snazzy.

I don't have a loom yet, but someday I will. I love watching your videos. You're so talented 😊.
