Ballad of the Harp Weaver

Edna St. Vincent Milay is one of my favorite poets.  In fact, The Ballad of the Harp Weaver is a favorite of mine.  I can nearly recite it verbatim.  I recently discovered this Johnny Cash rendition

 

So why has this poem come to mind?  Well, you guessed it.  I've finally taken the plunge and am giving weaving a try.

My friend Michelle loaned me her portable loom for my class at my LYS with Laura.  I'm using Spud & Chloe yarn for the warp.  Tanglewood Fibers Creations fingering weight merino is what I'm using for the weft.  I like the look of these two yarns together.

Here's a close-up of my first attempt.  It's not perfect - but I'm fine with it.  I enjoy the process of learning a new craft.  I may or may not repeat my weaving experience, but I'm very glad to give it a try!

First, I love Spud and Chloe yarn. Second, to someone who is not expert, your first attempt looks ace! Third, I love it that you are so crafty, and love handcrafts so much that you are always learning something new. Looking forward to seeing more!
