Weaving Evaluation

I've now finished my three week block of weaving,  the photo below shows my overall piece. I have really enjoyed the past three weeks,  they have been quite a challenge seeing as I've never done any work like this before, so learning the new techniques and terminology has both excited, and terrified me! I feel that this course has helped to increase my knowledge in yarn types, colour palettes and fibres, something that really interests me. The only slight negative I felt was that the set-up process of the warp took a long time, so getting around to introducing the weft into the samples definitely came as a relief- however I would love to be able to continue with this in the future. I am now about to start my three week block in knitting, hoping to gain an equal amount of knowledge, whilst learning another exciting skill to add to my portfolio.
