Flip Rigid Heddle Loom: Take it with you

This is the project I was working on in the car. It's honeycomb--a favorite, and a great weave structure for the rigid heddle loom.

Last week I drove a friend to Denver for chemo. I also had a project deadline. What to do? I took my weaving with me and wove while I waited. Even though I've been rigid heddle weaving for years, I'd never actually taken my Flip loom with me.

So as not to be intrusive in the waiting room, I wove outside in my car, sitting in the back seat with Flip propped up on the back of the front seat. It was a glorious Colorado fall day. I enjoyed listening to the sounds of the city, the cool fall breeze coming in through the car windows, and at peace, throwing my shuttle to and fro. An added bonus was being of assistance to a friend without feeling panicky about my deadline.

p.s. Please register to vote. If you're not registered to vote, I hope you will do so right now. There's so much at stake this election and each voice matters more than ever.
