A few updates to the blog...changed from Rigid Heddle Weaving obsession to "Weaving" obsession, why? Well now I am also obsessing on Navajo Rug weaving as well. Will it ever end????? I hope not ;)
I built my first Navajo Rug Loom this weekend (pics soon). I am following the lead of Weaving With Beauty, http://weavinginbeauty.com/. Master Navajo Rug weavers make up this group. I would highly recommend the following purchase if you are interested in building a Navajo Rug Loom or will purchase one and want to know how to weave on it: ‘Atł’óhí Binaaltsoos (The Weaver’s Book): How to Weave the Navajo Way http://weavinginbeauty.com/weavinginbeautymercantile/publications (scroll past calendar and you will see the book). It is ONLY $18 with digital download pdf version (and all they currently are offering) a password is included with your purchase that allows you to view instructional video that follows the book, shows you how to warp, weave, finish....An exceptional value!!!!

In the beginning...
I received a large heavy box for Christmas from my husband, I unwrapped it and to my surprise and delight he got me a Rigid Heddle loom. Of course I really had no idea what that was, I mean I had an idea of a loom but "Rigid Heddle"??? I have done many different crafts/handiwork over my lifetime, but never thought of doing weaving (other than making potholders when I was young). I imagine I thought it seemed to complicated and I wouldn't know how to do it.
So anyway here I am a bit over two months later and I have been weaving like a crazy woman!!! I am hooked in more ways than one. So hooked that I had a bunch of "favorites" that I needed to wade through related to weaving, so what the heck, create yet another blog.
And here you have it...
