Saori RED - Workshop Piece

I'm at a Saori workshop, assisting my friend Cheryl, who is a certified Saori instructor. Eight wonderful ladies have driven here from Florida to learn how to weave Saori-style. They are all traditional weavers who are eager to add Saori weaving to their 'toolboxes'.

Here's my warp on the loom:

And the weaving in progress:

I think it's going to be a shawl when it grows up. :)

Craftsy Online Classes

Just got an email from Craftsy, giving a heads-up that all their online classes are $19.99 or less through July 2nd. Edit: I've been informed that the class discount is likely for people who've already had a class with them, and not for new people. Drat. I still recommend their class format, though.

 I've only taken one class from Craftsy so far (Bead & Tapestry Cuffs with Claudia Chase from Mirrix Looms), but I was very impressed with the format. You pay the class fee, then watch it at your own pace, whenever you want. Pause, stop, rewind - watch part of it now, part of it later. There's no expiration date on your class. Once you've paid your fee, you'll retain access to it indefinitely, so it's easy to go back and re-watch details. You also get access to the teacher via email in case you have questions.

I've just started the "Short Rows" knitting class - that one is FREE.

There's a rigid heddle weaving class, a spinning class, numerous knitting classes... I think I'm going to take the "Shoot It! Product Photography" class next, since I'm always fumbling with my camera.

And the best part? I can take the class in my jammies, a few minutes at a time,to accommodate my short attention span!
