Out and About to celebrate a good year.

A picnic "loom crawl" is always popular and in 2016's end of year treat the group visited the homes and weaving paraphernalia of Chris, Joan and Wendy. Here are a few pictures of weavery stuff in its own habitat.

Joan demonstrated warping her loom. She uses sectional warping method which is new to most of us.

Joan's cheerful honeycomb and rag weave cushions would brighten anyone's day.

 

 

 

 

 

Wendy uses a circular loom and a rigid heddle loom, both of which she makes good use of.

These are some of Wendy's hand dyed scarves.

And this is some of her custom-dyed wool.

 

These creatures and other items of comfort are part of a collection
gathered up by Wendy and her mother Cynthia and distributed as a
goodwill gesture to families affected by the severe earthquakes
 in the Awatere and Kaikoura areas.

Thank you to Chris for the photos and apologies if formatting of this post is all over the place. Blogger does not want to cooperate this evening!
