[Ansteorra-Textiles] weaving

while learning, I would use crochet thread.  It doesn't stretch and the patterns are easily seen.

Hi, my name is Vickie Clark. I have tried to make several of the meetings on Wed. night. As of the last month I have been caring for my father, we are in his last days. I start back to school next Wed. night and that will be my regular class time for the next two years. Soooo, maybe eventually I will have a Wed. night free and be able to make the gatherings on Wed. night in Norman.


 


I learned inkle weaving  last year and since moved on to tablet weaving. I have had a couple of basic lessons so far. I have been trying to teach myself and have gotten really frustrated with my projects. Talking with people I have decided my main problem is my material that I am trying to use, which would be hand spun and dyed wool. Everyone has told me to use embrodery thread. Since I am doing the tablet weaving to go with my persona of the Viking age I really would like to use wool. I know I am doing something wrong for my patterns to not be successful. I am looking forward to chatting online or talking in person with everyone and hopefully come up with an answer to my problem. Vickie Clark
