Thank you!
I am working on a follow on volume of our book and a revision of the first volume. As part of that, I will be working on making the online class available on demand, so people will be able to work on their own schedule.
I too am very interested in any future online classes. Thank you

My wife and I are having a blast…love you’re website hope to come to workshops so we can learn more and more..Bill and Kim
Barb, the best solution is to keep practicing. You might try varying your warp tension to see if that helps. I am not holding any online classes at this time. I have several projects that must be completed.
I am having a problem getting straight vertical lines. Also, do you still have the online weaving classes?
The Navajo rug auction last weekend was a great success. And I also posted about a personal rug mystery and its outcome. Take a look!:

Also, the Autry is holding a Navajo rug auction where people can bid online until Saturday. Take a look:

I am interested in your online weaving class also. Please let me know when you will be starting another one. I am having trouble with my weft pulling in. Do I have my warps too close together? I am being as loose as possible with my weft. Please help. Thank you. Sincerely, Debbie
I’ll be sure to let you know Linda! Thank you for your interest in learning to weave the Navajo way.
PLEASE keep me in mind for future online classes! Thanks!
