So I did sit down and weave a square in the corner. It actually went better than any went before which can be seen by the end of this post. So here goes. I am assuming that you have read the last t…

Another stash busting project is finished. I made a pin loom blanket of a lot of the smaller skeins and balls of handspun yarn in my stash.

Monday really should have been a bad day. I had to take my car in for unexpected repairs (urgh… the combination of those two words is always the worst, right?) and I ended up spending nearly six hours waiting for it to be finished. And then to top it off, I realised that as I...

Although I like Schacht’s new Zoom Loom very much, there is a better way to join squares together than the one shown. Each square upon completion has two tails: a short one at the place where…

I made a few of these woven coasters with the Zoom Loom a while ago and I thought it would be fun to show you how I made them. When you weave a square with the Zoom Loom, you will notice that the woven fabric looks like a grid pattern. I thought it would be neat to cross stitch a design on it. After a few trial and errors, I got the results I wanted. I found that using a thinner yarn for the cross stitching looked way better than if I used the same weight I wove with. When I tried it with…

So I bought myself a little zoom loom, just to see if I would like weaving. I do! I've been playing and experimenting with a few different things, just stuff I have in my stash that I'm not using, some VC, some other stuff. Just for fun, here are my results. These pictures are awful, can't do it justice. iPhone pictures, and used my computer to edit them down 50% so they wouldn't be giant here. IRL these squares are really nice to look at and soft to hold, though way much thinner than…

A couple of months ago I came across a beautiful skein of handspun merino at my local yarn shop. The color is Pastel Jungle and I discovered it’s spun by a fellow Minnesotan – you can c…
