Syne Mitchell, has assembled some beautiful bookmark weaving kits using Tencel hand painted by Just Our Yarn. The kits are available through her etsy shop. I just bought one of the kits in Periodot, though it was tough to choose a color. The last batch of kits sold out lickety split, so get 'em while they're hot.

I am a blogging slacker. It's not for lack of thinking about blogging, but somehow my days are evaporating like crazy. I recently started a new job working for Syne Mitchell of WeaveZine and WeaveCast fame. I'll be helping her develop a base of advertisers for the site so that she can keep offering up wonderful weaving content for us each week. She'll be launching a new site on March 1st, so keep your eyes peeled for an update.
 
I have also been working on my monthly articles for Schacht Spindle Co. My latest project should be posted this coming week, and I'm really excited about it. You should be too if you invite me over for dinner...
 
I also acquired a new loom. Well, new to me. It's actually an old loom - 1976. And it was in a lot of parts. But it didn't cost much, and being that I am both on a budget and was looking to add a loom to my collection that would enable me to weave wider yardage, I jumped at the chance. 

 If you're interested, I have a skirt project in the new issue of WeaveZine.  I'm pretty excited as this is my first published project.  Click here to check it out.  The photo at the left is a bit fuzzy, but you should be able to see a fairly obvious seam down the center.  The skirt is woven, plain weave, in 17" panels, so it would be easy to weave on a rigid heddle loom if you don't have a floor loom.
