This collection of Linda Collier Ligon's essays in "Handwoven" magazine traces the ups and downs, joys and trials, and people and events of the weaving world over the last 25 years. In these essays textiles are the window to the world, and questions such as "What does it mean to have a loom-shaped life?" "What's warp, what's weft?" and "What are the interlacements?" are explored with precise, probing insight that is always engaging. Whether urging readers to act, describing her battles with a fine linen yarn, or recounting her computer's spell-check replacements for weaving terms, these essays from the founder of Interweave Press will enchant, amuse, and delight.
