Whenever I was at my guild meetings and I would say, usually by way of introducing myself, that I spin, knit and crochet and that I don’t weave. At which point there was usually a chorus of “yet!” added to it. I didn’t figure that this was really going to happen as I’m not in a position to spend hundreds of dollars on a loom, and I don’t live close enough to the guild hall to go there and use their looms easily.
However, the loom fairy had other ideas about when I was going to learn how to weave. She was up there giggling and clapping her hands in anticipation of today…
Yep, that is a full-sized (though not as heavy as I would’ve thought) working loom in the living room of my parents house. A friend of my mom’s needed a new home for it so it is on permanent loan to us.
Well played loom fairy, well played.
