A Good Yarn / Re: Looms and Weaving in General

I don't get very fancy with designs. The twilled rugs and saddle blankets are marvels of skill but I'd lose both my mind and my eyesight doing twilling.
My loom is most like the loom on the left hand side of this photo of Weaving in Beauty in Gallup, NM. Mary Walker runs the place and she is a generous fountain of information and aid. I took an online course from her that was amazingly helpful. When I got sick on the third class, I called her to say I'd attend but wasn't well enough to weave. She told me she felt like she could catch what I had just from listening to me, for me to go to bed, and she'd let me start the course over when the new class began the next month. No extra charge, just turn up and start again.
