		<description><![CDATA[It is my goal on this project to try as many of the techniques as possible so I can describe it on the blog, in lectures or in an eventual book.  So I gathered up my hutzpah to ask Justin and Kate if I could &#8216;drive&#8217; the loom.  They were very gracious and helped me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Justin for answering the Murphy&#8217;s oil soap question; he washed the warping board before he started using it, to get rid of the &#8220;50 years of barn dust.&#8221; And more apologies for the poor photo of him; I was stealth snapping trying not to get any visitors in the background. I surprised him [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here Justin is making his new warp &#8211; I believe he said it is 20 yards. For most people this would be pretty ambitious, considering he is working in the Crafts Center only two days a week (at the most) and that there are only a few weeks left to Plimoth&#8217;s open season, and that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Justin has been weaving in the Crafts Center a day or two a week. Last week he was making the warp for a second weaving project; the first one is already off the loom. In the second photo you can see the giant-sized warping board he was using. I&#8217;ll get you some pictures of Justin [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marilyn, a frequent contributor to the comments and embroiderer on the jacket as well as a student of Japanese embroidery, recently asked me if any weaving was going on in Plymouth Colony as early as the 1620s.
The answer is no, we have no evidence that any was and lots of evidence that there was no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Justin sent some pictures of the loom he&#8217;ll likely use to weave the silk lining. Right now this loom is holding some reproduction Calimanco, a worsted, satin woven wool textile  produced mostly in Norwich, England in the 17th, 18th, and 19th century.
Kate and I used all natural dyes to obtain the brilliant shades that [...]]]></description>
