I’m not sure why some things that are obvious to others aren’t so obvious to me. Here’s what I learned about weaving on the rigid-heddle loom that surprised me but wasn’t surprising.
I might not have a holiday table, but I’ll have a Fourth of July dog.
Playing with safe and easy dyes seems like the perfect summer activity.
Many of us are attracted to the next shiny object. That may be why I’m weaving little hexagons these days.
Don't think you can't weave when sports are on? You can.
To be honest, as I write this, I’m still weaving my scarf. I brought my loom to work and weave a little each day, mostly in the afternoons when I’m not feeling that lively and need some downtime to process my day.
Come out from behind the couch. I promise your 4-inch pin loom will protect you. It may be too small to hide behind during Discovery’s Shark Week 2018, but weave a couple of pin-loom squares, add a little crochet, and you’ll have a designer eye mask.
I get nervous when what I consider my backup colors in certain yarns (read: 8/2 cotton) start to run low, or even run out. That said, I also like a project that doesn’t require a shelf of its own in my closet.
I love randomly colored warps and have actually wondered how it would be to weave with embroidery thread on the rigid-heddle loom. (I wonder about all kinds of things!)
