I will weave on.

I think that I mentioned in one of these blogs that I have recently begun weaving again after a long hiatus, since my college days to be precise.  I am really enjoying the process (I fund it very relaxing) and am pleased with my first four projects.  On  Monday evenings I meet with some friends to keep each other company while we  work on our separate projects. Yesterday I mentioned to the group at large that I will be going on a driving trip with my brother in a few weeks. While my loom is small and light weight enough to carry to these meetings, it it not compact enough to work on in a car, so I will not be able to take my work with me.  Several of the other ladies in the group like to knit or crochet while they are traveling.  I mentioned that I wished I could do that and one friend said that if I would bring some knitting needles and yarn next week, she would teach me how to knit a project like the one she's been working on.  For a fleeting second I was tempted but then I remembered why I don't knit or crochet.  It's not for lack of trying, but my fingers just don't seem to go the way they are supposed to. What looks rhythmic and smooth in someone elses hands is simply a fumble-fingered mess when I try it.  So I will continue weaving. Watch out world, I'm starting on Christmas projects.
