Spinning and weaving was on my bucket list so I have joined our Central Queensland Fibre Arts group an am weaving. My spinning need refining. I have made five Henderson tarten scarfs for Xmas Presents for my sisters on an Ashford Knitting loom and am now starting a sample on a four shaft table loom. I did the same as Deborah and enlarged a shot of the Henderson Tartan and worked out the setts. Will upload a photo soon.

I've found it - the site is http://www.houseoftartan.co.uk/index.htm and they have all kinds of tartans. they don't have the setts, but you can blow the pictures up big enough to count the threads. it'll make you cross eyed, but it can be done. they also have a lovely tool that will let you design your own plaid

Thank you. I've checked there, and they don't have the St Andrews plaid. it was until just recently limited to the royal family of England.

Help! I need the set for the St Andrews Tartan. Does any one know where I could get it?

I've been weaving for around thirty years and am amazed by the amount I have yet to learn. I've been experiancing a dry spell following a fall in December. I'm hoping this list will encourage and inspire me.

I got side tracked with learning to knit but I have plans to get to it soon.

Hi, I'm new to the group and wanted to introduce myself. I live in North TX with my husband and we moved here from Oregon 4 years ago. I learned to weave with a table top loom and have made lots of scarves and shawls with it. Haven't done much weaving lately but I am getting back into it. My husband and I are going to raise alpacas when he retires and I have always loved fiber arts. I didn't realize how much I missed weaving until I started thinking about it. I found a felted scarf pattern in the last issue of spin-off magazine that I am going to try and weave.

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let you know I'll be out of state from early tomorrow until Saturday, March 28, 2009 because we are going to visit our son, his wife and meet our newest granddaughter. We will be driving out and back and are hoping for good weather. See you all when we get back!
