There is a unique satisfaction that comes from catching a fish on a lure you fashioned with your own hands. There’s nothing else quite like it. Anyone can purchase a polished plug or shiny jig from a store shelf. No special skill is needed to do so. But when a tuna slams into a trolling […]| Catholic Stand
A couple of weeks ago, I read an article by a philosophy professor, Karen Simecek, who said that conceiving of our lives as narratives is a bad idea. She thinks it’s a bad idea because some narratives are negative or have a negative effect, presumably on the narrator. She didn’t mention the brain in her […] The post Where Are We Going, Walt Whitman? appeared first on Farther to Go!.| Farther to Go!

As you probably know, Pantone releases color trends for different seasons. I loved the two color trends for 2019 so much that I decided to make some warp packs inspired by them! I really love putting together these warp flight packs, because they allow you to play around with warp colors without being committed to a large amount of warp thread. If you haven’t heard of my warp flight packs before, they are a pack of four different warp thread colors that are measured to approximately 100 yar...| The Weaving Loom
I really like making these free weave pattern “weave alongs” as I call them. I think they are a great way to learn weaving techniques and also end up with a beautiful weave at the end. I’m especially excited about this off-center circular weave, because it gives the weave a really organic feel. In this pattern, I’m going to give you a general explanation of the stitches, since looms are different and we may have different number of warp threads you won’t need to follow along with an...| The Weaving Loom
In the last post, I showed how to warp your loom so that you have an off-center middle. Don’t you just love the look of an off-center weave?! I feel like it gives the weave some personality and makes it more unique. I’m very excited about making an off-center weave, and of course I’m going to share with you all my steps so that you can weave along too! Here’s what I did to get our weave started: step 1|| using the basic technique, weave over/under the warp threads. I wove three times ...| The Weaving Loom
I received an awesome question from a reader wanting to know how to make a circular weave that has an off-centered middle. I agree with her that the off-centered middle of circular weaves looks so awesome, so of course I wanted to share with all of you how to do this too! I think I’m mostly excited about this post because I’ve been admiring the off-centered weaves myself and this question led me to giving it a try. If you’re looking for directions on how to warp a centered circular weav...| The Weaving Loom
Not only am I excited to be sharing another weaver interview with all of you, but I’m even more excited that the interview is with the extremely talented Elise Vazelakis! Elise’s weavings are large, gorgeous, and so interesting. She creates a lot of movement in her weaves simply through spacing. I love that she plays around with weaving gaps in her work and uses the weft threads to pull some warps tighter while others are loose. It’s really visually interesting. Let’s dive in and get ...| The Weaving Loom
I’ve been dyeing some more of my twisted cotton string. I’m really enjoying the process and seeing what colors I can make. I’m also sharing my dye “recipes” for those who want to try dyeing their own string too. All my dyeing, in this post is done using kool-aid powder. You can find my first set of recipes here. Unlike the first round of dyeing, I did not use any rubber-bands on the string and instead just let the string absorb the color as evenly as possible. I still get a few colo...| The Weaving Loom
After sharing how to warp a circular loom, I wanted to share a free weaving pattern with you all! (oh and if you don’t have a circular loom, I have instructions on how to warp an embroidery hoop here!) Since we will may be using different sized looms, I will tell you how I made my weave but make any needed adjustments for your own weave as needed. For example, if I group six strings, but you’re weaving on less warp threads you may want to group only four or three. The supplies I used are ...| The Weaving Loom
Guess what? I have added some acrylic circular looms to my shop! You wouldn’t believe how excited about this I am. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you’ll know that I love to make circular weaves. Circular weaves are different enough to be a bit of a challenge. I love to take a weaving technique that I’ve used many times with “normal” weaving and apply it to a circular weave and see how the technique looks different or needs to be adjusted to fit the circular warp thre...| The Weaving Loom
I’ve did a little more dyeing of my cotton string and I love how it turned out. I made some really cute spring colors (yep I have Spring on the brain!). So today I’m going to share my “recipes” to get these colors. I can’t guarantee that you’ll get the same results, but it’s fun to experiment with and this will get those who want to try it started. Oh and also I should note, if you try these with a wool or other protein-based fiber the colors will be picked up much darker! Thi...| The Weaving Loom
Monty Python’s Life of Brian is a British movie but Always Look on the Bright Side of Life could easily be America’s theme song. Barbara Ehrenreich covered the pitfalls of what some call toxic positivity in her book Bright-Sided, which I read shortly after it was published in 2009. It probably goes without saying that […]| Farther to Go!

In 2024, I was stuck in a mundane job that revealed a big truth. I had to do the same posts, emails, and offers, and rewrite the same things, in different ways, hundreds of times. It was monotonous, draining, and, frankly, a dead-end routine. One day, as I mindlessly edited a social media post, it […] The post How To Stop Being A Consumer And Start Creating In 2025 appeared first on Gabriel Iosa.| Gabriel Iosa

Even though I lost my running buddy when she got pregnant, I was more than excited for her and happy to give her a baby shower! Instead of her having multiple showers she decided to have one large one so I had lots of help in getting this shower together, and really that is the best way to go because doing a shower by yourself can get very expensive!| Cook!
