Donna, I wish you did live closer, I could use the moral support. I have to admit that blogging about it helps keep me motivated.

Your journal entries may show frustration with the intricacies of the countermarch loom, but they also sponsor enthusiasm for anyone interested in trying something new in weaving.<BR/><BR/>Wish I lived close enough to lend you a hand with your task. This blog accomplishes a little bit of virtual support in lieu of the actual. It goes both ways.<BR/><BR/>You're providing a spectacular service to the craft of weaving with your journal entries!! All the best to you. donnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-91828855754144044602007-07-05T12:42:00.000-05:002007-07-05T12:42:00.000-05:00Looking good.

I'm beginning to think that I need a studio with a weaving pit to put this loom over, kind of like garages use to work on cars.<BR/><BR/>Barbara, thank you so much for your comment. You are the 3rd person to recently call my attention to Becky Asenden's method so she seems to come highly recommended. I definitely need to improve on this chore; it isn't an easy one!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-13873809460596924982007-07-05T06:41:00.000-05:002007-07-05T06:41:00.000-05:00I can hardly wait to see how you get on with the t...I can hardly wait to see how you get on with the tie-up. And one other point about it - crawling around underneath and getting out from under the loom and then back down again doesn't get any easier as the years go by!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-38503528147313104712007-07-05T06:11:00.000-05:002007-07-05T06:11:00.000-05:00I, too, recently added a Glimakra to my "stable" a...I, too, recently added a Glimakra to my "stable" and am really enjoying reading your adventure log as I prepare to take mine on its maiden voyage. I agree that these looms are somewhat intimidating for the Jack trained among us. Suggestion for tie-ups...Becky Ashenden of Vav Stuga in Shelburne, MA developed a brilliant modification involving special knitting needles and beads with the tex-solv. You still need to figure out what goes where, but it makes the connections and ultimate comfort adjustments a breeze! Check out her web site. Way easier than those little pegs. It also makes it so easy to fine tune the height of the treddles for maximum comfort...which, as a very short legged little weaver, I have really appreciated when taking classes at her studio!<BR/><BR/>Best of luck,<BR/>BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-88969605784121366342007-07-04T17:54:00.000-05:002007-07-04T17:54:00.000-05:00Leigh - I have great confidence that you will have...Leigh - I have great confidence that you will have this countermarche tie-up business mastered in no time!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-23030552834128763312007-07-04T17:24:00.000-05:002007-07-04T17:24:00.000-05:00Holey moley - it looks like it's raining cord unde...Holey moley - it looks like it's raining cord under your loom.
