I really enjoyed talking to Anne and sharing my journey and love of weaving with her.
Here’s a synopsis from the show page:
“When Amy D. McKnight talks about breaking the rules in weaving, she's not just talking about freestyle weaving or combining clasped weft with a pattern. She means hitching a warping board to her rigid-heddle loom, or letting weaving be an evening's entertainment in the vein of paint-and-sip, or throwing open educational videos from her weaving course for anyone to watch.
“Amy's message is about setting aside whatever you thought was possible-or impossible-with your tools. She weaves not only doubleweave but point twill on a rigid-heddle loom, prefers a hybrid method of direct and indirect warping for long but efficient warps, and uses weaving software (usually a tool for 4+ shaft weaving) to plan her projects.
“It's not just pushing a simple loom to do more complex weaving, it's also bringing a love of weaving to completely new audiences. She created a plan for the Common Threads Loom, a versatile pin loom/potholder loom/diagonal-weaving loom that anyone can make with simple office supplies, and she offers it as a free download on her site. Having created a rich weaving course that she offered for subscribers, she decided that keeping the information behind a paywall wasn't for her-and recently posted it to watch freely at KZbin.
“Amy D. McKnight calls herself a motivational, inspirational weaver, and you will, too.”
