Oh, I can knit, purl,cast-on and off, decrease and increase but, like quilting I choose not to knit at this time! Not to say that I am not tempted when I see the beautiful things people knit and many of my young friends knit as well. <br />The first term of school is almost over and before we left for the Thanksgiving holiday the school dropped a bombshell of an announcement... More on that in the next post coming soon!<br />Happy Thanksgiving! -ReneeR.

That's encouraging to me since I have so much trouble seeing middle values. The black mirror sounds interesting.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog to offer encouragement as well.<br /><br />I'm sure the feeling of how long it will take to really master drawing seems daunting. But weaving can definitely feel that way when you're starting out too. It's hard to go back and be a beginner at something after years of being competent at other things. But since I was competent at software development, and I don't want to keep doing that, being a beginner again with all of the emotions that evokes is necessary.<br /><br />For me, growing up I was used to learning and used to being a student, so that frustration early in a process wasn't as hard for me as it is now. <br /><br />I don't know if you knit at all - but it involves yarn and is super portable....so it might be good for those times when loom space is at a premium. <br /><br />OK - my husband is heading out the door for Thanksgiving so I have to sign off and go eat turkey! Hopefully this comment makes sense! I really appreciate getting to see art school through your eyes!! Keep up the good work! You're almost done with the first semester, right? (Easy for me to say!)<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949251528070335538.post-78096193199709570892009-11-23T04:16:21.902-08:002009-11-23T04:16:21.902-08:00Oh yes, warm clothes are a must!

Once in a while we all get sick of this snow and send it right on down into the valley to share for a bit.<br />The drawings are really getting fleshed out now. I certainly like the addition of shading. Makes them MUCH easier to view and give you a sense of growth in your skills and certainly a completeness to the overall composition. Have fun with Jane and the new easel and Happy Thanksgiving!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.com
