graduation
the final class was very intense
everyone had finished their project – a log cabin scarf
now comes the revealing moment
cutting it off the loom
Kelly was weaving on her own loom, she could have taken it home to weave a few more samples
after seeing the others cut their work off she couldn’t wait
she had a great time sampling and already has plans for a baby blanket
oh oh! now it’s too late to change your mind
sampling is fun on a dark/light warp and just a plain weave threading
Helen has already put a sample warp on her floor loom at home
Tanja has lots to think about
she has already borrowed the bobbin winder to get started at home
everyone’s colours were similar
Tanja’s purple and soft celery green are a nice contrast for the log cabin pattern
the lighting just wouldn’t show the green
this was a hard-working class, great enthusiasm with 3 new weavers
I enjoyed it as much as the students.
jean, i think you know one secret of teaching: you get to learn every time you teach! i love reading about your students.

Velma – it is so much a part of the process – to make new discoveries along with your students.

Congrats to the teacher on helping to create a bunch of new fledgling weavers! Cutting off should be a ceremonial occasion always – even if it’s just a sample.

Louisa – these three are very keen. Cutting off is an occasion when it is a group event.

Those huge scissors crack me up–they mean business! This must’ve been a wonderful meeting for all of you–and they are all eager to continue!

Kerry – yes, you would love them, they were on a table of tools at a second hand store – 2 for $8 they cost me $4.17! What a buy, think they were carpet layer’s scissors.

Alice – it is lovely when the participants in a class “click”,learn together and admire each others work. No champagne, they all rushed home to get supper.
