Hello!
A busy couple of weeks here on the home front as we welcomed my niece “Annie” to the family. Mom and baby are hale and hearty and we are feeling full of gratitude and blessings. I admit, I’m also, feeling a little “behind the wave” of all my endeavors. So much to do, explore, finish…Ai! And then there’s work! Thank you so much for traveling along with me on this creative journey.

Hi Sarah,
Loved seeing you work on your loom.! I have the Learning To Weave book, too, and was blessed to be able to take a class with Deborah years ago at Harrisville Designs. Good luck with your endeavor.
Your quilt is beautiful! Baby Annie is a lucky little girl to be the receiver of that gift. Enjoy your snuggle time with her.
Blessings,
Sue
Dear Sara, how I wish I could get a better image to show you how to thread 4 threads at a time thru the heddles. I learned it from a class from Norman Kennedy. This was the best I could do and it takes a bit of practice but is quicker than one at a time.
• James’s method of threading 4 threads at a time is a time-saver. Line up 4 heddles in pattern, have 4 threads in hand, pull 1st thread through heddle but leave looped on threading hook, do not remove from the hook and move on to the second thread, stick hook through heddle and pull through again, when all four threads are through the heddles pull all through. This works for right to left or left to right threading. It reads more complicated than it is.
you thread the 4 threads thru your fingers in the left hand and using the sley hook you pull thru one at a time as they said. NEED a picture but good job, you are doing it!!
Yes, cold in your neck of the woods but we have clothes for that kind of weather.
Do love that Cardin sweater.
