New fibery adventures

[siercia]

Never content to stick with one hobby for too long, this yea, I decided that I wanted to learn to weave.

So, for my birthday, I asked for a loom. Sadly, there's not space in my house now for a floor loom, but there is for a little table loom.

On Monday, Wiley gifted me with this:



Last night, gala came over and helped me get her warped for the first time. Hannah picked out some yarns and my first project is going to be a scarf for her.

WAY faster than knitting, I learned how to warp the thing and got about 5 inches of weaving done just last night.

I think my parents might still have a floor loom if you ever have space for one.

I will keep that in mind, but I think it's going to be a while before I have room for one!

Oh wow. I'm adding this to my list of future crafting ventures!

It's pretty awesome so far, and you can do some awfully cool thins with it, beyond plain weaving, which I'm looking forward to. And while it's bigger than I expected, it folds up, and it's not all THAT big.

I let your birthday slip by without wishing you a happy one. I applaud your hobby efforts.

My keyboard went bonkers and I couldn't finish my statement. I wanted to include a wish for a belated happy birthday.

Thank you!

How have you been?

I'm doing great! I am retiring in three days. Hope you all are well.

Yay for retirement! My Dad retired about a year ago and he has been very very happy since he did - finding lots to keep him busy and time to do all the things he loves.

We are well. Busy as always, lots of stuff going on!
