You are a very talented weaver and your writing style enables readers to follow and learn from you. <BR/><BR/>Your skills with photography are a great asset in presenting your work to all of us. I get to see your work on the loom only after you've stepped away from it as even Connor, our terrier knows better than to disturb you while the beater bar is in motion, but the photos actually let me get up close and personal with it. <BR/> <BR/>I'm impressed!!<BR/><BR/>Hub.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807128526453246847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-38153097498805001212008-11-18T12:38:00.000-08:002008-11-18T12:38:00.000-08:00Wow, Susan, I am hugely impressed, can't wait to s...Wow, Susan, I am hugely impressed, can't wait to see the scarves!

If I needed to, it is possible. Its just that you lose so much of the warp when you do that and this increases the cost of making the other ones. For example, I recently put on a warp to make 12 guest towels. I ran out of time due to a deadline and so cut off 8 and tied back on. I only got 2 more towels and some samples.<BR/>Yarn is expensive....and sometimes I use silks and other exotic blends and I wouldn't want to cut off early with those!<BR/>It's a weaver's choice :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing!<BR/>SusanSusan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09707139508896058818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-6796336975543748002008-11-17T23:15:00.000-08:002008-11-17T23:15:00.000-08:00the scarf looks great! one question about the clot...the scarf looks great! <BR/>one question about the cloth beam--can't you just cut off finished scarves (since you've hemstitched them) if you want longer warps? or is that something you can't do with a countermarche loom? (i am always running late, so i have a bad habit of cutting things off when i need them!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-86324864757994391082008-11-17T20:30:00.000-08:002008-11-17T20:30:00.000-08:00Thank you for all your nice comments!

I have vision issues, and that hook has allowed me to get back into weaving. :) It took some time to figure it out, but now that I can, there's no stopping me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-61919549843942198792008-11-17T06:23:00.000-08:002008-11-17T06:23:00.000-08:00I can't wait to see the new scarves and your towel...I can't wait to see the new scarves and your towels look beautiful;)Sunrise Lodge Fiber Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430525418832346974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-51716156593166122442008-11-17T05:58:00.000-08:002008-11-17T05:58:00.000-08:00Oh my word, Susan, that is going to be just absolu...Oh my word, Susan, that is going to be just absolutely gorgeous! Worth every drop of agony you are going through! The term for the tool is auto-denter. Between the black warp, the complex threading and using a new tool, I'm surprised that you have had as few problems as you have had! Courage! It's going to be wonderful!Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-44305265539456612982008-11-16T21:56:00.000-08:002008-11-16T21:56:00.000-08:00I do look forward to each and every post you do, a...I do look forward to each and every post you do, always worth reading. It really makes me want to weave along with you. The auto reed hook looks like a great tool and one I just may have to add to my collection too. Can't wait to see how your new scarf project turns out, it should be spectacular.Lynnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459520887792560982noreply@blogger.com
