Random stuff…

The new Handwoven Magazine for March/April 2011 is out, and I have a four page feature, “Using color forecast palettes for warp stripes“.   In addition, I wrote the end notes column for this issue.  That column can be accessed online, for those of you who aren’t weavers or don’t subscribe to Handwoven Magazine.  (If you are a weaver and don’t subscribe, you might want to check out a couple of the current issues.  There is a lot of information packed into the newly formatted magazine, information for all levels.  It is colorful and inspirational, and I always learn something when I leaf through each issue).  Anyway, here is the link for downloading the Endnotes column…  You’ll have to click “Download” in a couple of different areas.

Last Call for JUMPSTART SEWING with Daryl Lancaster! NEWARK MUSEUM ARTS WORKSHOP Newark, NJ Tuesday afternoons 1-4pm 8 Weeks starting March 15, 2011 and starting again in the fall, October 18, 2011

Member: $207, Non-member: $230    Materials: $10

Do you have a sewing machine in your closet?  Do you 

spend a fortune on alterations?  Do you have clothing

that is outdated, but too good to give away?  Are you

looking for an inexpensive hobby that will reduce 

stress and benefit your wardrobe?  Dust off that

sewing machine and come learn or re-learn what to do

with it!  The class is tailored to individual needs and all levels.

Ongoing, this class will help with everything

from simple alterations, garment make-overs, sewing garments from

scratch, all the way to tailoring for the more experienced sewist.  This is

also a terrific class for those who have trouble finding clothing that fits.

Machines are provided for those who don’t have a machine available.

ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME

News Alert! Because so many have asked about how I do these post cards I am continually blogging about, I’ve tried to search through some 350 posts to pull out all the parts that pertain to weaving the post cards, and put them in one document.  I did it quickly, so there may be some mistakes, or I may have missed a post, but this will in essence give you the information and I won’t have to keep replying to comments asking how I do them.  I can just direct everyone to a single document on my website, and you can read to your heart’s content!  I’ve included the blog post on how I use the AVL warping wheel to wind the spools for my little Structo, where I am currently weaving little post cards.   To access the PDF, click here.
And I got word this morning that my husband was heading for the airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to start the trek home.  Flooding continues as the Passaic river is expected to crest tonight, my daughter is working on insuring the safety of all the dogs boarded at the kennel where she works,  all the kennel’s lower runs are submerged.  Things are tough in North Jersey right now, but this is nothing compared to what’s happening in Japan.

It was unbelievably generous of you to go through, find these, and make them available for download (which I have done)! I’ve found a few of them before, but had missed all the spool-warping escapes and the pick-up stick technique (I still haven’t even tried to do any of this) and if nothing else it is fascinating reading. MANY thanks!

You are a great teacher as always, Daryl. Thanks for sharing. (I was just about to ask, also.)

Thank you so much for your blog and for the download. I have two Structo’s and a friend sent me your blog with a picture of you working on a Structo. Wow! Thanks for sharing!

To the most beautiful woman I have ever met… I still have not met that man that I have been looking for but at least I am still looking, spinning, weaving, learning and doing new and exciting things. The latest thing has been doing some dying of a 3 yard warp that I am “Praying” will turn out like my minds eye sees it. I am in hope of entering it in Midwest and attending it! I will even sell the last of my gold if I have to so I can go! And take a class from the woman… Read more »

Yesterday I purchased one of your scarves from the Santa Fe weaving Gallery and have enjoyed reading your blogs about how you design and create your scarves and all the other neat things that you do. It is a unique learning experience. I enjoyed making my jacket with you in Durango a few years ago at IWC
