It's been a struggle, but finally, the antique barn loom is up and running! I actually really like the motion of this loom, no clickity, clack, just smooth motion. I also ordered some boat shuttles off etsy and love, love, love them: No threading through holes, just guiding the yarn around what looks like a claw. They have a really nice weight to them too. I figure I can have a messenger bag out in no time, but with the trouble I had, I may weave a couple of them before cutting anything off the loom.
Wayne and I went to the yarn shop last week and I forgot that I told Mom I'd post pics of it on my blog. (Find out you're pregnant, and everything flies out the window. Sorry Mom!)
There was one chair in the yarn shop that I thought completely represented my mom. Let's see if she likes it.
You are really going at it now. I really like your colors. That yarn shop also looks like a nice one...and they even put my chair there!
ReplyDeleteThat is a store I should stay out of! That loom is wonderful! I hope you enjoy making memories on it too!
