    I love that you are so chill and not perky and so crazy talented. It's hard to explain how watching some youtube videos take energy for me to watch, but yours infuse me with calm creativity. I hope you have a great career. You have that special something.

    So great to see you doing your tapestry! I started to weave 5 minutes ago 😊after a weaving pause of 15 years at arts university.😊..so glad to see how I could use all my fabrics and yarn leftovers for a grand piece of art. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.💚👍🌷

    Wow I REALLY love how you named the techniques and even highlighted each area where you used them. I haven't seen anyone else do that. It makes it so much easier to see/plan/follow the project as a whole. And it's SUCH a great way to avoid having to explain all the basics, but still make the project possible for beginners like me. I'm so impressed!! Sub from me for sure ❤️

It's nice to see someone explore the flexibility and variety of textures available when free form weaving !

    I've found tapestry to be a nice level of flexibility where if you make a mistake you can often go back to correct it, or if you step back and want to change something you can, so as far as crafts go it's been a nice one to pick up!

    IDK how your video showed up under my suggestions, but I'm so glad I clicked on it! I've never thought of creating such a wall hanging (a tapestry with random design) but after watching your tutorial I'm interested in trying this. Not only does the process look relaxing, the weaving back and forth. But the texture is very compelling to me, a tactile person who loves to touch things. You can usually see my fingers grazing across the decorative pillows in the department store. 😍 Or even the sides of pottery in the gardening center. I also love yarn and cording. I love to crochet and knit. So I am compelled to create your tapestry just so my fingers could enjoy touching the weaves and loops and hanging strings. ❤ Thank you!

    I am a weaver and I love it! I use a floor loom mostly and I make table runners, towels, scarves and material to see clothing. I have made tapestries and enjoy that as well. I wanted to share another easy pattern. Instead of tabby ...over one, under one...go over two and under two. As in tabby weave the next row would be under two and over two, etc. Thank you for sharing your love of weaving! I find your weaving color pallets beautiful. I am a subscriber now!

It is something that I for sure may be trying after I make a large area rug. Just looking for some other techniques using different yarns, and having fun with it! Thank You Wendy!
