[Ansteorra-Textiles] question to subscribers

[Maria Buchanan]

I joined the list because I weave.  But I'll be honest, I'm not exactly the most tenacious artisan in the world.  I tend to lose interest in things.  I don't knit.  Mostly I Inkle, Lucet, Fingerloop braid and am starting with Kumihimo.  
All in all, I've seen good stuff on here in the past.
