It is so wonderful to have Megan and her family with us for ten-plus days.\u00a0 We have already been gigantically busy and more to come.<\/p>\n
Megan loved the samplers I wove at the Harrisville Weaving Center in June with teacher Tom Jipson.\u00a0 I loved that class and recommend it to everyone.\u00a0 Anyway, I had gotten some parts to update the loom as the folks there told me I should.\u00a0 Aunt Freda had given me her beautiful Harrisville loom which she purchased in 1975.\u00a0 The rawhide cables were a bit stretched, so I bought into the idea of replacing them and some other parts.<\/p>\n
When Megan and I started putting the loom together with the new parts we could not do it!\u00a0 I called and found that Terri was going to be there\u00a0 until five and would help us.\u00a0 We arrived at about 1:30 and worked like dogs for two hours putting on new parts.\u00a0 We discovered that in the confusion of check-out day in June whoever had gotten the parts for us had given us parts for a 22-inch loom even though the receipt clearly stated that they were parts for a 36-inch loom, which is the size of mine.<\/p>\n
We arrived home after six to hungry men, and burned out ourselves.\u00a0 Lovely day together, though.<\/p>\n
Today Megan put on the ribbons. All we have left to do is put together the tensioning device then we are ready to warp the loom.\u00a0 Yay!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
