January 29, 2025 is HERE. I worked on a sample for a new tapestry I’ll be weaving on Change the Shed with double sett.
I announced that I’m starting a Patreon page. You’ll find show notes from each episode there each time. I’ll have more details about Patreon soon, but if you’re interested, you can find my page HERE.
February 12, 2025 is HERE. I started the new tapestry which I’m calling “It’s Fine” for the moment. It is the tapestry for which I did the samples last week. I’m weaving it on the Schacht Arras loom with the stand and treadle assembly. It is a double sett piece and should be a lot of fun to weave.
If you’d like to see the show notes for the episode, please go over to Patreon. I’m making the show notes and link to the video free to members and you can join for free!
February 26, 2025 is HERE. I continued work on the “It’s Fine” tapestry today. You can find the show notes on Patreon. They’re free for people who join and you can join for free. For those of you who have subscribed, thank you. I can keep doing this work because of you.

March 21, 2025 is HERE. Today we worked on the colors for “It’s Fine.” I had some issues as soon as I started setting in the yarns for the central portion of the tapestry. Mostly there were value issues and I realized quickly I was going to have to shift what was going on in a couple areas of the tapestry. We talked about potential changes. I’ll sample these and may have a behind the scenes video on Patreon about this.

April 9, 2025 is HERE. Today I put in new colors for the It’s Fine tapestry. There was a bonus Behind the Scenes video this week where I talked more about setting in the colors and showed how I did the eccentric split weft dark line in the weaving. That is on Patreon for paid subscribers. More information about Patreon is HERE.
