The Weekend Edition - No room for snobbery!
|
Hi Weavers! The weaving community is generally kind, supportive and helpful to anyone who is looking at giving weaving a go. I am proud that we are such a lovely bunch of people! Occasionally though, I hear something that makes me an equal mix of sad and angry 🙁😠 And it's almost always to do with a case of what I consider snobbery. Imagine purchasing your very first rigid heddle loom and then being told you've wasted your money because it's not a real loom? Or being looked down upon because you can only afford to, or you prefer to use acrylic yarn. I hope that you haven't had this kind of negative experience, but if you have, I want you to know that the problem is with the negative Nancy - not with you! All forms of weaving are valid, whether you use an inexpensive frame loom, a toy loom, a homemade backstrap loom, a mid range rigid heddle loom or a more expensive floor loom. The point is that you're weaving, learning and enjoying the process, however that looks for you and your situation. Don't let anyone steal your weaving joy! ❤️ ****************************************************** PROVIDENCE RIDGE This week on my second Youtube channel I'm reading out the latest Open Heart newsletter for those who may be interested in receiving it every fortnight.
