Jennifer Moore is an adventurer at heart and in real life. Whether she's sharing her world travels or her inner journey as a weaver, she always has new insights and new tales to tell. So we are fortunate to welcome Jennifer today with her latest report from the fell. - Anita
It’s been a year and a half since both my book The Weaver’s Studio: Doubleweave was published, and the accompanying DVDs were released by Interweave. Since that time I have been given the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the country teaching workshops on doubleweave.

| Between workshops Jennifer still finds time to weave. This silk and cotton doubleweave wall hanging is entitled "Awakening." |
At nearly every workshop someone brings in something they have woven in doubleweave to show the class. It is especially fun to return those guild where I had taught a workshop a year or two earlier and see what fantatically creative pieces people have woven since that time.

| "Rhapsody in Red and Blue II & III" by Jennifer Moore |
I am always amazed to see the things that people have come up with that I never would have thought of myself. I always knew we've explored only the tip of the iceberg of what is possible in doubleweave. Now I am beginning to see the expansion of those boundaries, and it’s very exciting to watch.
In my own weaving life, I have recently become the proud owner of a new 32-shaft loom and I barely know where to begin – more layers, more complex structures. Should I do 8 blocks of plain weave, 4 blocks of twill, or combinations of all of the above?
As I travel and teach, I jot down new ideas to explore in doubleweave, and I have a list that could probably keep me busy for the rest of my life. I look forward to years of getting to know my new loom and to whatever unexpected surprises lie ahead of me as I continue to explore what doubleweave has to offer.
