Any weavers out there? I recently started weaving on a rigid heddle loom. I'd like to meet some other weavers.

| Hey there! There's another Farmgirl from Macon who replied to my poundcake post. Maybe we can all do lunch when school is out! What a small world! |

Hi Sherrie,
I recently purchased a loom from one of our Dear farmgirls, but I am new to this!!!
Could you tell me are there any good videos out there? |

Hi Sherri, I do some weaving. I have a tapestry loom and a table loom and my other loom can be a 12 harness but at present, I am using it as a 4 harness loom. I think in some of my older post on my blog you can see my looms and some of the things I have made. I really love to weave and spin and knit but it just seems like I run out of hours in the day.
What are you weaving on now?

| As far as videos go, I have a Kromski rigid and the New Voyager Trading Company has some good videos, but I also used the book Rigid Heddle Weaving too. Right now, I am making a plain weave scarf with some Mountain Colors yarn I had. I plan to use up some more yarns I have around, and then I plan to play with rayon chenille! |

Hi Sherri,
I do both, harness looms and a rigid heddle,there are some great online short videos with rigid heddle.
http://www.youtube.com/user/rigidheddleweaving
also on ravelry.com there are a couple of forums on rigid heddle.
There are some beautiful things I've seen made on them.
