Avalanche Looms: ashes, ashes

http://avalanchelooms.blogspot.com/2014/12/ashes-ashes.html

Friday, December 19, 2014. It's icy here, so I dumped the whole can full of wood ashes on my paths and the driveway, and then put it to the test. I didn't fall down and break my crown. I like my new, highly visible, lime-yellow down jacket. Happy winter solstice, and remember the ones who've left us. I light a candle for them in a. Mason jar, when the sun goes down, and put it in the frozen fern bed beside the sauna. Avalanche Looms / Susan Johnson. Needles all dangling down…what a funny image! I wove it...

Avalanche Looms: march wind

http://avalanchelooms.blogspot.com/2015/03/march-wind.html

Saturday, March 7, 2015. Today winds are blowing out of the South. Soon maple sap will be dripping in the woods, syrup boiling in sugar houses, and trout season. It will still snow, a spring blizzard or two. The cold has been extraordinary this year, but it's a dry cold. I know I'll miss it. Item: In case you haven't seen it, Vibeke, the vivacious Norwegian knitter, tea and poetry lover who writes A Butterfly in My Hair. Avalanche Looms / Susan Johnson. Lovely spring green in the scarf!

Avalanche Looms: potholding

http://avalanchelooms.blogspot.com/2015/01/potholding.html

Thursday, January 8, 2015. I'm amazed to read about the present, sweltering heat in the southern hemisphere, Australia, for instance, while staring into the teeth of this "Alberta Clipper" coming down from, well, the finger points at Alberta. Thanks, Canada. Dramatic, but largely an illusion. So I am weaving potholders, a throwback to simpler times, days when I began weaving, a. Project of cutting rags and chaining them together, to weave into useful, and cheerful kitchen things. We can create what we ca...

Peacock Modern: on hiatus

http://peacockmodern.blogspot.com/2009/06/on-hiatus.html

Tuesday, June 23, 2009. With a new job and another baby on the way, it appears I'm not able to keep this site updated anymore. I promised you a post on weaving, and while I never really did get that pulled together, the whole idea came about from my admiration of Avalanche Loom's. Products and studio. So before I go, I'll share a few photos with you here - I'm sure they will inspire you as much as they did me. Wouldn't you love going to work every day if this was where you worked? In Avalanche, WI.

Avalanche Looms: lost and found

http://avalanchelooms.blogspot.com/2015/05/lost-and-found.html

Monday, May 4, 2015. We conquer our pessimism and plant a dozen red raspberry canes, unearthing, in the process, one of Grandma's long forgotten and missing sterling souvenir spoons, deep in the compost heap. I wonder how long it was lost there with another spoon, and how it got there, not pointing fingers. Avalanche Looms / Susan Johnson. Hey Susan, did you see the cool mother duck (or goose) on the nest right across from the Amish farm on the way to Avalanche- - she is sitting so high up. May 10, 2015 ...

Avalanche Looms: simply weaving

http://avalanchelooms.blogspot.com/2015/02/simply-weaving.html

Friday, February 6, 2015. The flower petals in this are made of strong, Finnish paper yarn, I ordered from Tampere, Finland. The paper yarn is threaded on a blunt tapestry needle, and tied into the weave as it progresses.
