PS: Following the links I discovered you are a weaver,
too. I like
the double weave "green thing" quite a bit. I weave, and I know
Paula McFarling in Columbia, MO is a weaver and a caller. I wonder how
many other weavers have discovered contra or vice versa.
I'm a caller and a weaver.
Ted Sannella's wife, Jean Sannella, was a master weaver (she had her master rating
from the Weaver's Guild of Boston.) So between the two of them, you had a caller and a
weaver <G>
Likewise Steve Zakon-Anderson's wife Betty is a weaver (and a dance leader.)
Becky Ashendon, well-known contra dance piano player, is also well-known weaving
instructor in Western Massachusetts. (Her Vav Stuga offers great classes on Swedish
weaving, including draw loom techniques.)
I'm sure there are others, but these are just a few off the top of my head.
