I’ve ordered a bunch of pink ostrich feathers. 🙂

Only two weeks to go to Cinderella…plenty of time to whip up a hot=pink, Cinderella-grows-up outfit. (She wanted to be a showgirl, didn’t she?)

I happened to see your March 1 message about using my book. It really does work for looms with 8 or more shafts. My examples are for 16 because that’s how many I had on my loom while weaving the samples for the book. When I bought that loom in 1987, people kept asking me what I was going to do with so many shafts. Sixteen was a lot of shafts in 1987. At the beginning of the first chapter, I explain that you can make drafts for the number on your loom. With weaving software it can be fun to try other numbers as well.
With an 8-shaft loom, I generally recommend working through chapters 1 through 3, skip chapter 4, and spend some time with chapter 5. Then read the last two chapters which are more general. Chapters 7 and 8 will also work on 8 shafts.
The basic idea is that you change one thing at a time and see what it does to the draft and to the cloth. Weaving software is a big help!
I hope you have fun with this. Bonnie.
