I've developed a theory. This theory requires you to pretend the meaning for XOXO is X= hugs and O= kisses. I realize that some people do it opposite of that. I do not understand those people.

If X=hugs X also = weaving. Weaving is very old and very basic. It is not glamourous but it is neccesary and creates things we take for granted much like hugs. If we are in need of comfort we slip into our old jeans, grab a quilt or other woven fabric blanket and hide from the world. The warp and weft of your weaving cross over each other like your body with a friends arms.

Fiber artists are like cooks. We have leftovers too. These are bits of yarn left over from finished projects. What's left can be used for smaller projects or tying on price tags.

Yes when I sit at my loom I am looking at a dressed body form. I use her for blocking sweaters and stuff but she needed clothing to just hang around.

I didn't think I had quite that many shuttles in just a year of weaving. Or that they all were loaded with yarn.

Shelves with boxes of yarns and drawers filled with knitting and weaving necessities.

Here is my loom unwarped with it's warping bucket.

Most of these yarns are used for weaving.
