I have a feeling if I started with it, I would be consumed by it. I don't know much about the weaving community online, but I would refer you to Sara Lamb's blog, http://saralamb.blogspot.com, she dyes, weaves and knits. She may be able to give you some pointers. She often blogs about her weaving. Also, I believe there is a podcast, Weavecast, put on by Syne Mitchell (I think is the host). She's also a sci-fi author, but she's a weaver and each month she puts up a podcast about various topics in weaving at : http://www.weavecast.com/, if that's at all helpful to you.

I had a feeling it wouldn't be long. Your enthusiasm for for weaving was obvious after your class. I am looking forward to seeing all sorts of wonderful textiles here! Oooh, congrats, Lolly!

Since I started weaving in the Saori way, I really enjoy the process of warping as well as the weaving. At each stage I am still making choices and changing my mind and designing. Choosing the colors and yarns, choosing where they go in the warp, the sett of the warp (which can vary). These days I get my loom warped up and weaving much faster than all the planning that I used to do. Happy Weaving, Terri Wow – that is such great news! and quick…..and you’re warped up and weaving already!

(That great chhhhhk-cha-chik noise) Now I'm all nostalgic for summers at my aunt's house, knitting on her couch with my cousin while she weaves after dinner. :) Just looking at your pictures has reminded me of the sound a loom makes.

I know just what you mean about the relative lack of weaving resources online - I was unable to find even a diagram explaining how a loom works, or a list of terminology, when I was researching looms. Maybe this can start a call for the weavers reading out there to share their love of the craft? I will try to write more about my process, although I am such a newbie, I doubt I can be of much help!

I absolutely love it. And it does fold up so nice. If I had the space I'd rather have something I can weave a wider width cloth on, but this fits perfectly in my craft room. I'll be sad to give it up. You should look into a guild in your area. I've found weavers to be the nicest people around. I love my guild more than I've ever loved any local knitting group.
