When I staged-managed Sueno, I took my stipend and bought a sewing machine. When I signed on to stage manage The History Boys, I made a promise to myself that I’d use the stipend to take a class. What kind of class?
A weaving class!! A relative of mine is a fantastic weaver and I’ve always loved the look of handwoven items, so when I saw that the Portland Fiber Gallery offeedr weaving classes, I knew exactly what that stage management money was going to months before the check made it to my hand.
Tuesday night was my first lesson (taught by one of my knitting buddies no less) and I’m about a third? half? I’ve never done this before so I don’t know how far I have left? -way through setting up the loom. I can’t believe I have to wait a whole week to work on it some more! I’ll be posting progress as we go along.
Here’s to learning!

[…] wanted to step it up a bit from my first woven scarf, so I chose one of the example draw-downs from Deborah Chandler’s Learning […]
