    It’s been fun following along with you. I started watching several years ago, I think the first one I saw was about a handwoven jacket, when you used to go outside and lay your large pieces of cloth out on the grass to show the whole piece. Then you would lay the cloth on the floor while your cat jumped around on top of it and show how you decided to cut and sew it. It’s been fun watching your FIT experiences and congratulations on your 16 shaft Ashford! Happy weaving!

    I haven't been here since beginning, but I have binge watched all of your videos from the first one to this one. You have such a positive energy and excitement about what you do. I love your creativity and your attitude. It really shows through the videos how much you enjoy what you do. Looking forward to your adventures in this final semester.

    Just like the commenter below, when I found your channel I went back and watched all of your videos and now I look forward to each new one. I'm having a great time following you. I was mesmerized by watching the water color experiment. So beautiful. Good for you to go ahead and buy yourself the loom you needed. It just shows how what can seem like a negative can result in something quite positive. That does seem to be your way of responding.

    I've been here since your video: "Making a Christmas Sweater from Scratch ❄ Weaving Plaid Fabric!" (It doesn't feel like it's been over three years... wow) And I've loved every moment of it. I love your energy, your positivity and your attitude that weaving doesn't have to be perfect, as long as you're enjoying doing it. I love watching you play with colors, exploring without fear. It's all how I myself see and work with my fiber crafts. (I also, spin, knit, weave, dye... all the things. You know how it is. You can't just do one of them...) I'm looking forward to following you for many years more.

    Your homemade dye-sample binder is amazing! Such a good idea. (You look fantastic in tie-dye, too.) A guy who'll build a loom with you for hours is a keeper. Please show us how it goes when you get started weaving. I use a Kromski Harp rigid-heddle loom from Poland and I'm always interested to see what works well for other artists.

    I’ve been watching you since before your move to NY. I found you due to my interest in Saori weaving and have been watching & enjoying your fiber journey and growth over the years. You are so talented and inspiring to watch - I really look forward to your next video. Also like Frankie and enjoy seeing you and Ryan. I live in Maryland and do weaving, knitting, spinning, sewing, quilting, crocheting and jewelry - a jack of all trades and master of none! Retired 3 years ago so now have more time to “create”. Keep creating and thank you for taking time to share your journey and life snippets with us. 😊

    I watched your channel before you went to FIT school. Presently, I am doing a 30 day weaving challenge on my 4 harness loom because of your video that I must have watched a dozen times. Like you, I purchased a prewound saori warp and using a pole, I figured out how to wind it on my 4 harness. All 32.8 yards of it.. Your energy is infectious THANKS Constance, Orlando Fl.😊

    • @AndreaAlexander

I do it with paints but for some reason it never occurred to me I could make wool swatches. Thank you for letting me tag along!

    I've been watching since the beginning, and it's been such an awesome trip so far! You never fail to make me smile, never fail to inspire me to get on the loom (and never fail to make me just a tad envious at your adventure!). As I realize we're coming to this video on the other end of your last semester, I hope it goes (went?) as well as you hope(d), and that you find yourself at the beginning of yet another positive experience. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go next, and so glad you're taking us along. :)

    I saw the Ashford logo and began drooling. You can never have too many tools! I’m teaching myself to knit at 66 and every time I get new needles or supplies in the mail, I squeal inwardly. I’m off my weaving right now, but fall is close and then I can get back to it.
    Glad to see your videos about F. I. T., loved the Scotland vlogs as well.
    Congrats on the new loom. Yes, I know you’ve had it a bit but no one but you and Ryan knew when you got it.

    I think I've been watching for about a year, maybe longer. It's because of you that I'm weaving on big looms! I was doing tablet weaving on a Inkle loom but hadn't tried a full-fledged loom. I watched you and then I took a Saori class, and then I took a rigid heddle class, and then I borrowed a floor loom, and then I bought a floor loom. I've taken a few more classes and am working my way through Jane Staffords classes. I love your design work the best, the colors and shapes. Can't wait to see how your final project develops!

  • @lydiajude8017
    @lydiajude8017 2 месяца назад

    Hi Andrea! I work with Dharma acid dyes for yarn dyeing and I recently read on some reddit page that it is suggested not to let your dyes sit very long in their bottles if you want the colors to stay truest and have the highest chance of striking your wool/silk at the same time. I personally just dye for my own purposes, so achieving exact color matches isn’t too important to me, but I thought I should let you know since you are working with precise colors here! Sincerely, Lydia

    • @lydiajude8017
      @lydiajude8017 2 месяца назад

      My apologies Andrea, I just looked through your channel for the first time (love it!) and realized you are far more of an expert in acid dyeing than I! Have fun with your project; newly subscribed. Sincerely, Lydia

    • @AndreaAlexander
      @AndreaAlexander  Месяц назад

      I appreciate this information! I am definitely not a dye professional and am just learning/figuring things out as I go. Thankfully this stock solution system worked out pretty well for me for the semester. Each bottle only lasted me about a month or so and I had to remake most of my colors at the halfway point, so they were never really sitting around for too too long! But it's good to know that long-term storage isnt super dependable. Thank you!! Happy dyeing 🥰
