Weaving Class

Because I have a loom, learning how to use it has been something that I've been wanting to do for a while. Until now, I haven't been able to find a class that didn't conflict with other things I was doing. When I joined the Woolpack, I discovered that the Pioneer Craft House had looms and offered weaving classes. And the instructor is a member of the Woolpack.

So I started taking the class in late September of this year (2009). Below are pictures of my first weaving. The loom is a four shaft E. E. Gilmore jack loom. The tie up is 1, 2, 3, 4, 1 & 3, 2 & 4.
