I am working on a baby sweater right now, and the pattern was written in Norwegian and (poorly) translated into English, and it is taking forever---I am having trouble understanding the directions, especially anything pertaining to measurements, and I have knit this $#$%^& thing twice, and it still isn't finished. I am going to stick with it, but I am starting to feel like I will be let out of some kind of Knitters' Jail when it is done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-20336119901859659552013-08-01T21:24:56.107-07:002013-08-01T21:24:56.107-07:00They're really nice! :-)They're really nice! :-)Acorn to Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334558675705027610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-60047001044142084772013-08-01T12:50:13.776-07:002013-08-01T12:50:13.776-07:00The towels are so lovely, I love the pattern fand ...The towels are so lovely, I love the pattern fand the colors!charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536773648371607808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-7982531177284433992013-08-01T05:49:45.198-07:002013-08-01T05:49:45.198-07:00Susan, have you considered a computer assist dobby...Susan, have you considered a computer assist dobby loom, one pedal with air assist might just keep you weaving for 40+ years. <br /><br />Your work is always wonderful and I so appreciate you sharing it with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-35667391923596431402013-07-31T19:45:49.922-07:002013-07-31T19:45:49.922-07:00You are so, so talented.

In another couple of years I will probably get rid of my larger looms and keep the small ones. They will be enough to keep me weaving.

Yes, it is most annoying when "issues" get in the way of weaving, especially joint issues. You have learned to listen to your body and that is a good thing! I am truly thankful that I don't have to rely on my weaving for my income, it does supplement a little here and there, but mostly the income I earn just pays for more stash, which I am thankful for. Get your knee/leg in the best shape possible prior to your knee replacement. Weave what you can, when you can over the next year and be thankful for the time at your looms. Weaverly yours ....barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465878144931259109noreply@blogger.com
