I love watching other artist’s process! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing, and i am glad to hear that youtube doesn't control you, that you do your own thing. I am always delighted to get another of your videos, and often watch them immediately if possible. When life gets more crowded, it may take a little while longer, but i always come back to it, and search to be sure i haven't missed any. Thanks again for all you share, including your prayer shawl ministry.
Wonderful to see a new video of yours! And your project is such a worthy one. God Bless You, Andy and thanks for sharing!
What a great thing you are doing! Fantastic! ♥♥♥
Love the idea of the S hooks. Thanks.
Hi sir few years i am not see your vedios. Now i see your vedio .so happy😊😊
Oh my goodness, I love the S hook tip!
I am always checking my subscription tab on youtube so your videos shows up whenever you post! But I know they sometimes hide it on the Home screen. Thanks for taking us along in the weaving studio!
I rely on subscription notices as well.
That looks like it takes a lot of patience!
I crochet with one hook. Much respect for your hard work there. Bless your heart.
these are going to be gorgeous shawls! I can't wait to see the colors play between the M and O's.
I love watching you weave ❤ thank you for your videos ❤
😊
Thank you Andy can't wait to see it finished.
So excited
I wished you lived closer. I'd pop over and help you wrestle that warp!
Oh, and I saw the new software is now available, but alas, it's Windows only. I run chromebook and android.
And temptreadles is the other software I was going to have write for me. I wonder if any of them would work with m older loom?
The program Crossover can make windows projects work on other systems - at least it does for macs… there might be something similar?
I dug through my electronic pile and fired up my old surface pro. I wiped it and am loading tempoweave on it. It will be my exclusive weaving computer. Problem solved. ((Dh is a software engineer) Almost as many electronics here as yarn cones.)
How wide do you make each chain? That S-hook combo seems to work great for you.
i love the shooks, i use them with my glimakra to hang 5L jugs of water on them (well they arent full like 3 L of it)
I usually have about two inches of warp in each chain
So interesting! How long have you been doing this? What made you get stsrtsd??
I have often thought about a loom platform that you could raise up to natural standing height to thread and sley, and to adjust the treadles - like a mechanics lift.
there are a few times that lifting your loom up rather than grovelling on the floor would be great - especially when doing the treddles!
right?! push a button and the whole loom lifts up off the floor on a platform to a workable height! As much as I like adjusting those treadles, down is easy, getting up is HARD!

yes, but tbh depending on looms you have, being overweight and boobage is also a major hinderance.. for my spring like trhis I end up doing box splits (dont laugh) in front of the loom so i can lean in and my legs arent in the way and i can breathe
Right there with you. It still requires breath holding and a couple swear words to set those antique treadles on their chains and drop pins.@@lizkimber
yes, it's a pain to crawl under a loom! 😄
What is a prayer shawl?
A prayer shawl is just like any other shawl that one might make, it could be woven, as I make them, or it could be knit, or it could be crocheted. There is a group at the Catholic Church which I attend who make shawls, we then ask our priest to bless them, and we give them to parishioners who are sick or are in nursing homes. It is just a way that we give something of comfort to someone who needs a bit of love.
@@curmudgeon66 thank you. That is very sweet!!
They are called "prayer shawls" because theoretically, the creator of the shawl(s) prays for the unknown recipient(s) during the creation of the shawl(s).
Subtitles are distracting.
