Can't wait to see where you take it. Oh man-o-shevitz -- to upgrade or not to upgrade wordpress, for sure. I have an older version, and it's a pain to upload to my server, and then fritz around with my database. The last time I tried it, I lost my entire blog. Prior to that -- in 2005/2006 my blog at blogger was hijacked, turned into Chinese and weird ads put on it -- it's still floating out there somewhere as Warped but not Twisted. So needless to say, I don't want another blog to vaporize. I'm tired of building them -- too much time with the digital take away my fiber time. I admire your intrepid blogginess when it comes to upgrading. :) And YAY!! No more day job!!! I can so relate! I love it that I can spend every day in my studio now. Create, create, create! Jane heya kaz,

I thought that the shibori pickup was done with a pickup stick, since I weave on the RH and don't have any experience on a bigger loom, thats how I though it was done, Good for you. I love to read all the weaving, knitting blogs I've learned so much and have so many projects and ideas from them, it's a great learning tool for us baby weavers, knitters. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience I appreciate it. Oh congrats on the job release, I pray for such a day! Don’t you dare get rid of this blog, you’ll stunt my weaving growth LOL..

I had never thought of using pickup for on-loom shibori--now that you are doing it it seems so obvious! Though I can't imagine picking up sucsh fine threads. I guess you will actually be overdyeing? Or bleaching? It might be interesting to try with the crackle. Actually, I'm using only four of my eight shafts, so I wouldn't even have to use a pickup stick! The mind boggles...........

I can't tell you how important your blog has been in my short weaving life so far!! Remember how exciting it was the discovery of you as a real person at the jacquard workshop? You have also inspired me to start a weaving blog. Will let you know when that is up and running!! That looks wonderful.
