The Affinity

Given that 99% of us had never been in a study group before, we wrote down all our expectations of what we wanted this group to do/be on post-it notes and affinitized them (“the data organizes itself”)

Structure

We arrived at a general structure for our meetings:

• Show and Tell (because Projects!)
• Presentation/Educational/Theme
• Mutual Aid on questions/projects.

Some initial presentation/educational/theme suggestions:

• Presentation/demonstration on inkle or tablet weaving on multiple loom types
• Presentation/demonstration with pattern heddle and backstrap
• Tablet weaving draft convention exploration and discovery, because there are So Many Of Them
• What is in our personal band weaving libraries?

For the Next Meeting

• Do a inkle-type band weaving project and bring it in
• Bring in our band weaving libraries
• Kay Inglin will demonstrate inkle weaving on more than one type of loom2

Next Meeting Dates

• Saturday March 23, 11-1, in the Ruthie’s classroom
