Enthralled...

I am loving this weaver's blog. http://backstrapweaving.wordpress.com I don't say that often, in fact, maybe never before.
Even without much interest in weaving, I think it is a fascinating peep into South American culture. Now I am interested in weaving, so am thoroughly enjoying myself reading all her back posts and studying the photos. So much so, that while I have considered and rejected the idea of backstrap weaving in the past, I am finding it irresistible.

I am still working long hours so just a minute here and there to play. I completed another Kumihimo braid this afternoon. This one has pretty much cemented the idea I want a marudai (braiding loom). I do not like adjusting my cords back to home base. It totally throws any rhythm out of whack. It's not awful, of course, I just crave a smoother motion.

My inkle loom and weaving cards should be here Wednesday, I can't wait!
