This arrived in the post last Friday. Super early birthday pressie! An Ashford Knitter's Loom......Woooo Hooooo! Foldable (even when dressed for weaving) and portable, take anywhere loom.
I had a little play with the "new toy" over the weekend only to find that I'd forgotten EVERYTHING I'd ever learned at school about weaving (which probably wasn't much). Lopsided-ness and wonky-ness pervaded my attempts, but perserverance, practice and a heap of encouragement from the "Spin Down Unda" ladies on Ravelry have been a huge help (many many thanks...especially to fleecefanatic).....and here's my first scarf:
I joined the "Warped Weavers" and "Rigid Heddle" groups on Ravelry and am so inspired by the projects that are being produced on these simple looms....its just amazing how versatile they are. Heaps to learn. This is so exciting! Woo Hoo!
