After I finished the last post, I went to bed. Like sometimes happens, although my body was tired, my mind wasn’t completely shut off. As I lay there thinking about my sales, I realized something. <\/p>\n

Of the 15 scarves I sold at Roycroft, 4 of them were woven on my rigid heddle loom. Which I only use at shows to demonstrate. <\/p>\n
