A better description of Wefty Woman.

I have had a few days to think over what it is I want to achieve with this blog. And I wanted to explain more of what direction I want to take this blog towards.

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 making comments and asking questions. We may not be sitting next to each with a warp out stretched before us...times have changed...but the idea of learning from one 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.

Thank you,

What is this crap about?

Hello everybody,

I am riding the wave of attention that has befallen on me, and using it to my advantage. So I like to announce this new blog, it is but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean that is the "blogosphere"...
(note to all that little reference to Charles Dickens)

I am a woman on a mission. I want to get people excited about weaving. It is a real interesting subject, and a great craft or hobby to "get into".

Just a word about my weaving blog. It is "my blog", so I will make it plain to all that I am a loud, crass, 38 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...

I want this blog to be fresh, blunt and fun...perhaps injecting some youthful spark of interest in the weaving community.

Lets face it, as a fellow weaver has pointed out to me...the average age of a weaver is in the 50's. So...Lets take a bold step and get a little crazy about weaving.

Let yourself go and have fun and promote your craft.

Weaving is fun, dammit, it may not be sex, but humans have been doing it since prehistoric times...

Thank you,
Wefty Woman

***Please note that I have enabled comments to be posted immediately, and with no supervision and or pending approval. Therefore, I will not be a baby sitter. You are free and encouraged to use whatever is at your disposal, in so far as language is concerned. I will say that if there are any comments that are considered threats or in anyway seen as having a direct negative impact on any of those who post a comment on this blog, I will become a raging lunatic and scream like a banshee! I will delete the post and ban the particular asshole for life...so there is what I consider to be a fair warning. All I ask is that we be able discuss, agree and disagree, kid around, be funny and satirical, argue and compel each other so that perhaps someone will become interested in weaving, and may just one day be the next Peter Collingwood, Theo Moorman, or Mary Atwater of our generation! And so with that I give you the floor....
