Hi Alice,
This was the first day of the Jason Collingwood 3-end Block Weave Workshop. Goodness the day went fast! It was wonderful to have a bit of a refresher (he taught the Plain Weave Rug workshop exactly a year ago for our guild, which I took) so many of the beginning techniques were the same, though he threw in the bits about tying the ends which are NOT in hedddles to one heddle or the other, and then the floating warp threads being tied to heddles as well.
There was a lot to take in, and great demonstrations, as well as each of us weaving our chosen colors.
We learned twining, both with linen and a two color decorative twined border, as well as the four strand sennit braid (hope I have that right! and just now I am too tired to go look it up!) A few photos of Day One for your pleasure.
