Well!! Your newsletter was chock-full of ideas, inspiration... And such infectious enthusiasm! Makes me wish I were more adept at textiles but as you know, me trying to do anything beyond knitting straight rows or using anything bigger than my wee hand loom is like trying to feed counterfeit coins into a toll booth 😉😉

While I can appreciate the time and effort your newsletters require, I do look forward to the next edition. And seeing you in person again... And soon!

The only trick is to keep trying, Rozzie! I see quilts in your future... We can set up a nice craft room for you in your next home. Your second sock is 1/3 finished - it'll be done when I see you next!

Having you help set up a craft room would be like getting watercolour lessons by Monet! ❣️

Hi,

I am looking for a designer that has worked with doubleweave tubes. I would like to have a draft/pattern that includes anything other than just plain weave. I am using a Schacht Cricket Quartet loom.

Hi Paula,

I haven't done doubleweave tubes in twill or other structures before, but I'm sure there's lots of resources at your library (public or guild). I know I've seen this ebook from Interweave before and it had a (flat) but twill doubleweave project. https://shop.longthreadmedia.com/products/best-of-handwoven-doubleweave-doublewidth

Thanks Vivian! To be honest, I make it sound like I use my other pouch, but I pretty much only carry yours around!! Please go ahead and post about them if you want - our magazines should be arriving soon :)
