Cool Weaving Pics:
Aren't these great pictures, This Shorpy.com site has many old weaving factory photos...most are of children working the looms.
Just a word about my weaving blog. I am a crass, loud mouth, 39 year old woman that will cuss and curse...that is who I am. However, it is not directed at anyone personally or said to offend anyone...this is how I talk and dammit, this is how I write...
About this blog:
The format for Wefty Woman is simple, think of it as an open discussion and exchange of ideas. Weaving was a skill that was taught by passing down the techniques and tips from one experienced weaver to one who is just beginning. Weaving is also an ongoing challenge of knowledge. We learn new things all the time from other weavers. That is how I see this blog. It is for weavers and non-weavers, experienced and beginner, to come together and just talk back and forth about the topic at hand. I will not post a blog entry, and then proceed to write a full essay about the topic. I want to learn from reading the words written by the readers of this blog. So use the keyboard, and spend a little of your time writing a comment, to pass on what you have learned to others. Teach me what you know by posting comments, let me learn from others by posting comments and asking questions. We may not be sitting next to each with a warp out stretch before us...times have changed...but the idea of learning from another has not. I will make a new blog post every few days, usually a short introduction of the topic...and end it with questions to get the conversation going. I want visitors to the blog to learn about weaving by listening, or in this case, reading what experienced weavers have to say.
