    I’m trying to find more information on double weaving – saddle blanket – with little diamonds. I can assemble the loom and done a basic wide ruin design but I’m more interested in the saddle blanket loom. Contact me.

    Betty, the loom for a double weave is the same as it is for a Wide Ruins design except that you use three pull sheds instead of just one. The warp threads have to be a little closer. There are two books that have instructions on this, Mary Pendleton’s Navajo and Hopi Weaving Techniques and Noel Bennett and Tiana Bighorse’s Designing with the Wool. I am away from my reference books right now, so I can’t give you more information immediately, but I’ll be able to give you more information next week. I have copied other weavers on this reply and they may be able to give you information sooner than I’m able to right now.

    Hello, been reading your blog for some time. I operate a comparable blog page but I keep receiving a lot of spam responses, how do you maintain your blogging site so clean?

    I use a product called Akismet. but I don’t think that Blogspot has a similar function. The only answer may be to turn on moderation for the comments. If they have the feature, I’d try to turn off comments on any post more than 14 days old. That would cut down on it.

    Raymon: I have a blanket simialr to the pink blanket. My dad's family had sheep. Every year they would gather the wool and take it to Utah Woolen mills and make beautiful wool blankets. Similar to Pendleton blankets, in many different colors. Love the turquoise jewlrey. My mom has a big beaded bag of it that I hope I get a few peices of (she's half Native American) She finds it kind of amusing that Native American prints etc. are "in" right now.

    Remigio: Way to go, Navajo Nation! Either cease-and-desist, or collect roiaetyls for the use of your name (only on quality products of which you approve, of course). Same with sports teams that use Native names as mascots. Until recently, the University of North Dakota was paying the Standing Rock Sioux annual roiaetyls to use the name Fighting Sioux , which was a win-win and a source of pride for both parties. Unfortunately for both the Tribe and the university, political correctness put an end to that.

    Ann Puzio: Hi Mary, Need to change to the waiting list for 9/13-20th. I hope this is possible.Also, going to see if I can sign up for the online class, need to check my computer. Thanks ann
