Hello, Welcome to the Loopweaver’s Corner. This past weekend the loopweaving team attended the Knit & Crochet Fall Show in Portland, Oregon. It was a fun filled exciting time for the loopweaving team. It was also our official “coming out” party. At our booth we were able to show our soft pot designs to hundreds of yarn crafting people. Their enthusiasm for Loopweaving was wonderful to experience.

        Many of the other vendors who had booths were also curious and interested in Loopweaving. Everyone seemed fascinated by the variety of containers that a person can make with the loopweaving method of crafting yarn.

        All-in-all we had a wonderful time there. Both the Crochet Guild of America and The knitting Guild Association who sponsored the convention should be complimented on the outstanding job they did. I’ll be returning to their next convention in the coming year and I urge any who can do so to attend. There were many wonderful booths of all kinds and much to learn from each.

        Onto another subject, fall is almost here and we are hard at work producing more patterns with autumn & holiday themes. Keep a look out for them. Thanks again for supporting us. 

Hello, it’s a monday morning up here on Mountain Top where I live. Not really mountains. The Chehalem Mountains are more like large hills. Still beautiful though.

Have you ever noticed how sometimes the day of the week decides how you’re going to feel. You look forward to Friday because the weekend follows and perhaps some time to laze around, or be creative after the chores are done. And then of course Monday comes and for many it’s back to work trying to cram too many things into a single day. The seasons can have an effect also. Which is why spring is one of my favorite seasons. On this monday morning I’d like to take just a minute and thank all the people that are signing up as members. It’s just great. I’m lagging in getting new patterns to those of you who’ve been waiting so this week I’m going to make a special effort to get more written and on-line. It is very hard for me to write down instructions of how-to’s because I create just by working with the yarn until something beautiful and new appears. Pure creativity. I love it. So this week rather than being quite so creative I’m going to put my energy into the patterns. Oh, one more thing check my interview in the press releases and articles section. It talks about the differences between crocheting and loopweaving. Have a nice week and happy looping!

Hello Loopweavers,

Up here on Mountain Top (The Chehalem Mountains where I live) spring is finally beginning to show itself. We had more snow than I like to think about this winter. My cat Suki is especially happy that it’s warming up and not so wet and cold out. She loves to hunt around the hill side for field mice. As for me, I’m just glad to see the flowers beginning to bloom. Lots of pretty yellow daffodils.

This week I’ll be crafting some beginner projects for loopweaving members with yarns in bright spring colors, especially yellow. Be sure to check them out (later this week) and remember I’m here to help if you have any questions. And thanks again for all the warm and friendly emails I’ve been receiving from new loopweavers everywhere.
