Really happy to share! Amazingly fun things :-D are ahead! When I flip through the book I want to skip around LOL But I know I (and you all) will get the most out of this if I just take each section 1 by 1 ;-)
THANK YOU. I shifted from glass to textiles after a wreck. Then loading a loom became so painful I stopped, and sold my 8 shaft to fund a service dog. But I love weaving. I have come back to a rigid heddle and a saori loom again. But the way you thread looks so body friendly. My little heart is so happy right now.
Ooohhh! I'm sooo looking forward to seeing how these turn out. My rigid heddle is currently warped for double weaving a blanket, but I'm definitely going to try this next!
I LOVE your videos! I’ve taken an in-person weaving class and your videos are much better! You’re lessons are concise and informative & you have a great sense of the mistakes most of us make. Thank you!
What a great idea. I love that pattern book. I admit I became a bit of a floor loom snob and your videos have re-opened my eyes to the joy of rigid heddle weaving. I recently got a Cricket 10 inch loom and I am having so much fun with it. Thank you for your videos and inspiration.
Hi Amy, I was setting up to follow your hybrid warping videos, when I found this new adventure you plan to take. Thank you very much for sharing. I'm about a year into weaving, coming from a knitting & sewing background. Weaving seems the natural merger of the two. You're inspiring me to keep exploring, experimenting, and having fun.
Amy! I love the way you explain things. I also love that you are imaginative and flexible with the rigid heddle loom. I wonder if you can answer one question for me please...??? Off the back of watching this video, I bought the book by Anne Dixon. In this book she never specifically tells/shows how to thread after warping for a twill. I have scoured the internet and found how to do this (I think). It worked for my first project, but now I am attempting a second project and I can't understand at all what is going on. I have warped with a single colour, and was planning to do the 2/2 twill pattern on page 35 (the one in the middle). But I don't have a clue what is happening according to the weaving draft. What is it meant to be telling me by showing me a gap between the different picks? I get that the tie-up shows shafts one and two are up on that first pick. But which one is shaft one and which is shaft two. I don't know of any weavers in my area and am at my wits end. Please, please, please can you help?

When I weave complicated weaving on my rigid heddle loom, my weaving guild members ask me why. I tell them because I can. LOL I also have a Beka - 24"...since 1991. Weave On! I have 9 heddles - three of each so that I can weave 4-shaft weaves with three heddles at once.
Hi Amy, I'm really interested in this technique but I don't understand why heddle 3 comes before heddle 2. I need to watch more of your videos to hopefully understand this. Thank you!
Amy, how’s it going? I’ve been looking for an update on your progress. I am hopeful that you are successful and that you can share that success with us. I don’t want to have to purchase a 4 heddle floor loom after giving one away.
I'm new to weaving and watch alot of your vidéos. I made 2 looms (wood and 3d printing) and I have the same book but I don't understand how to use this book. For example: on page 31 the first wrap is it on the shaft 4 or 1? And for the weft ( the green and red example) the first weft is it the red at the bottom or the green at the top? I live in Québec and I buy my cotton at Maurice Brassard and I don't know witch size to buy, is she pass 3 threads of 2/16 in each heddle? . If I want to weave a placemat witch size of thread should I buy? Sorry for my English?
Hi Michou! Welcome to weaving! And how cool is that that you made two looms?!?!? This book is kinda like a stitch directory for knit or crochet. As I work thought it, I'll be explaining some of the parts of the book as we go. May do a video on the overview at some point. I don't have the book with me, and if I don't answer you now I may not get back to you for a while. But as far as I remember, all of the warps start on shaft 1. I don't remember seeing any exceptions but if there is I'll update my answer ;-) The pattern is read from bottom to top (in America we go from top to bottom but the other way makes more sense.) Lucky you! I need to order some cotton from them when they open ;-) For simplicity, I would just get the 2/16 or 16/2 (same thing) and triple it in the warp and weft. I haven't done this enough to start substituting things, yet ;-) You could possibly do a larger size but I don't know which size off the top of my head. I want to say 8/4 but don't hold me to it! Hope this helps!

Thank you, Amy. I just got my 24' inch Ashford. I did wonder about this same topic and I'm glad I found your video.
You are awesome!! I'm with you on your journey!!! Thank you for your generosity!! sending love
Thank you for this message
Looking forward to how you change the pattern for the RH loom
Amy, I love that you are sharing your journey with us ❤️ I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Thrilled that your making this journey. Will be following closely

Hello, looking forward to this as I have the same book to follow along with. You mention also another book - can you share the title please?
Yes, please let us know about Mr. Zanecka’s book. Thank you.
This is "The Xenakis Technique" by David Xenakis :)
