Hobby, Hoarding or Business?

I weave a lot. I mean A LOT.  When I’m not working I’m weaving. Which means I have a lot of weaving in my house. My scarf drawer is overflowing, I have enough tea towels to last past forever, I have blankets, curtains, floor mats, pillow covers, and clothing. Really, if it can be woven I’ve got it or am planning to have it. I told my husband a few weeks ago that I either needed to start seriously trying to sell my weaving or quit. I’m getting close to crossing the line from hobbyist to weaving hoarder. Seriously.

I can’t see myself quitting so selling it is! I am incredibly lucky to work at a yarn shop part-time (Gaspereau Valley Fibres). But for those of you who know the shop, you will be seeing a lot more of me there …I’ll be hanging out on my days off, weaving!  I did my first Friday and Saturday this past week. It was so much fun talking to people about weaving, showing them how it's done and encouraging them to join one of our beginner weave classes. Plus, I had a helper…our shop cat, Mittens, wanted in on the action.  And, I even sold a couple of scarves!

I’ll still be writing blog posts, but maybe not quite as regularly over the summer (because I’d rather be weaving!) But you can keep up with what I’m doing by following me on Instagram @therogueweaver, or my Facebook page: The Rogue Weaver. Everything will be for sale at the store but if you see something you like let me know, I can ship.

It's going to be a fun summer!

Here are a few of my favorites currently at the store.
