Rag Rug Beginnings



Using a Kessinich jack loom at Color Crossing in Roberts, Wisconsin and Marimekko strips, I have begun the rag rug sampler in the Log Cabin pattern.  It was really fun to figure out tentative color plans with the expert help of weaver Judy Larsen.  As you can see, I have quite a way to go yet with all those shuttles filled with colors just waiting to be woven in!  So often I've found that weaving and its processes are such a good metaphor for much of the fabric of life.  The ambiguity of what that means is fine.  I'm learning that ambiguity can offer richness rather than simply being experienced as a lack of clarity.  This philosophical musing comes as a bonus then, for whatever it is worth; waiting to be woven in.
