Weaving: the brand new class

An interesting past two weeks/ we have continued felt, where the entire class made a large rug. We felted it in about two or three hours, then drew a name for someone to take it home with them. A neat concept, though I winced at the amount of wool that was used. I just really want to get started on my own rug, it's going to be probably five feet long, and three feet wide or so. Something to lie down on ^_^

Weaving is the new one- a lot of information in that course, and it's only been two classes! A bit overwhelming, but I know we'll all get it eventually. Last class we set up the looms using the thread we'd wound into what's called a 'warp chain' the class before. I did the winding for part of the rainbow threads, I had red, orange, yellow, and green... and someone else had green, purple, and blue.

There's some homework starting to gather, but it's nothing compared to the end of last term. I'm still waiting for the workload to kick in ^_^ Should be an exciting second part of the year.
