There's a loom in my house, |
Then warp it, dear Cilla, |
With what shall I warp it, Dear Liza, dear Liza? With what shall I warp it, Dear Liza, with what? |
With green and black 5/2 cotton, dear Cilla, Dear Cilla, dear Cilla With green and black 5/2 cotton, dear Cilla, Dear Cilla, with green and black 5/2 cotton. |
But the cotton is too long, Dear Liza, dear Liza But the cotton is too long, Dear Liza, too long |
Then stripe it, dear Cilla, Dear Cilla, dear Cilla Then stripe it, dear Cilla, Dear Cilla, stripe it. |
How long will it take, Dear Liza, dear Liza? How long will it take Dear Liza, how long? |
All night , dear Cilla, Dear Cilla, dear Cilla All night, dear Cilla, Dear cilla, all night. |
and I loved every minute of it. In all seriousness now. There was a lovely Schacht loom in my house all night and it was wonderful. Unfortunately it was a loaner from the weaving teacher, so it doesn't get to stay. I am so sad now. It just left a few minutes ago, but I do get to visit it tomorrow. I went to weaving class this week and it ended up two spots were open in the weekends weavers guild workshop. "Double Faced Weaving" with Robin Spady. I ended up calling M to check to make sure he could cover my work and I hopped on the opportunity to take the class. I am feeling really overwhelmed since I am really just a newbie weaver. Hopefully it will all work out. Even though it turns out that my loom is warped wrong.. nothing like starting class knowing that your loom is wrong. Though not my fault, my weaving teacher read the instructions wrong when she taught me what to do. Oh well... Keeps a teacher on her toes. I hate being the trouble maker. Wish me luck during my first weaving workshop the next two days. |

Good luck with your weaving workshop and with continuing afterwards! It sounds very exciting and I can't wait to see what you'll make.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to mention that the silliness is because you stayed up all night warping the thing. And that you will be a weaving fool this weekend. Now go and weave Cilla
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! Good luck.
ReplyDeletewow, that looks so complicated but fun.
