School has started here and that means more and more weaving than ever before. It is going to be fast paced from here on till the end of October. I have only two more months of outdoor farmers market. The weather has been perfect for vending outside. My inventory has been slowly going down, and I just have to take a lot of time and weave. I have finished an order that went on and on. I finally finished the first 18 and started and almost finished the last 15 in about 6 weeks. Now I need to get started on the next bunch of orders. They only consist of one rug per order. I also have to order some new warp for the loom and also re-warp two of the looms that are completely out of warp. I have plans to put on the brown warp first then the black warp. The black warp will be a change from having only natural warp on one of the looms. I'm anxious to get that part finished. I will be ordering a new color that I have not used before. That should be interesting. Since I will be weaving on a loom that is in an outside building, hope that weather holds until I can finish outside. Otherwise I could be wearing the winter coat and gloves out there. The building is not heated. I should be fine, weaving can work up a sweat. The shuttles are full with denim and ready for the loom. I plan on two rugs of the same fabric and I'll be making them both the same length, hopefully they will both be about 36 inches long. That means I need to get busy and weave.
Keep on Weavin'
