My new loom and I have finally settled in. Harnesses are heddled and hung. For the most part, every little piece of loom that was disassembled has been found and put in place. After a bit of travel I have finally found some time to weave. My first project will be a set of curtains for the Weavers Guild of Minnesota 75th Anniversary book and my bedroom. I wove a sampler a few months back and now I am excited to see the pattern unfold on a larger scale. It is a varied sett in 20/2s with some raised ticking stripes in a heavier silk. I am so pleased with the outcome so far and super happy about the extra 7" of width I will get on these. Happy looming!
In other news, I sold my old loom!! I had lugged it to the living room where is sat for a few weeks until I posted an ad at the guild. I didn't really think it would sell as quickly as it did and I was sad to see my first loom go, but happy that it went to a good home. Because I am a sentimental nerd I ran inside and took pictures of my old loom getting loaded up and swept away.
