That's...Yes, Sue... just start with something. That's how I began this one. And I have started at the left, maybe will make this week a skinny one since I'm getting ready to teach next week!<br /><br />One of the things that sometimes holds me up when I struggle for the design of the next tapestry is thinking it has to be "the one"--that can be almost deadly! When I let go of that idea I can usually begin.Tommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-89894092336767765132011-04-02T08:52:01.116-04:002011-04-02T08:52:01.116-04:00Thanks Tommye, I am in a REAL slump right now, an...Thanks Tommye, I am in a REAL slump right now, and will try some stream of consciousness weaving myself. looks like fun and maybe it will get me 'jump started'. I vote for doing a border, try it and if you hate it you can quit ;-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743960733444659380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-75055926886044048102011-03-31T10:39:24.281-04:002011-03-31T10:39:24.281-04:00Thanks for the thought about the left side, Susan....Thanks for the thought about the left side, Susan. Today will be decision point about it--so maybe, maybe not!<br /><br />About the table top Shannock... yes, it can be tippy if the feet get a bit loose. Do you use the shedding device? If so, if the feet are tightened well it shouldn't be too prone to tip over. These looms pictured are the ones owned by the university; my Shannock of the same type has been modified with legs and treadles--John was doing those for awhile but don't know if that conversion is available any longer. That made the loom much more convenient to use.Tommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-43131227970081974892011-03-31T09:53:46.980-04:002011-03-31T09:53:46.980-04:00Tommye,

Do you like them? I have one, but it is really unstable in its base and tilts easily. Do you have the same problem? I am thinking of getting rid of it. <br /><br />Glad to see/hear that your hand is doing better. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Susan Skalakringadalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283684479786006008noreply@blogger.com
