Sarahnopp had said that she was going to try to weave daily on tapestry in November. I thought that was a really fine idea. I pulled out my copper loom, and there on that loom was a warp with the cartoon from the first sample in Nancy Harvey's book that I had started a while ago and set aside. I am not a very disciplined weaver so I tend to start and stop stuff. This time I am going to try to work through the samples because I found while weaving Winter Sentinel that I do not have very good weaving skills when it comes to tapestry. Hopefully having this thread out here I will be able to keep going and if more want to join the party that would be wonderful.
I have set the copper loom up within my Tissart tapestry loom. I pulled the reed out and pushed the heddles aside so the loom sits in there nicely. I like the height that it is at. I found when weaving on portable looms that I do not like sitting at a table with the loom either leaning against it or laying on it. This should work out well. I also like having shedding devices, so I have a stick shuttle through one shed, and a really great shedding device that a weaving friend gave me that uses the string heddles from my mini inkle loom. Now to hit the stash, find some wool, and go back to tapestry.
