I finished weaving the test cloth on the BonHop Loom this weekend and I have to say that it was uniquely satisfying removing it from the loom. I may turn into a weaver after all!
This was woven with a warp of Jamieson & Smith, 2-ply, jumper-weight Shetland that was languishing in the stash, and a weft of leftover Blue Moon Socks that Rock. Fun color changes made it fun to weave and kept me interested. I haven't washed it yet, but that is sure to change the size and texture of the cloth. I'll post before and after photos.
This year's motto -- "Learn by Doing"
And I began mentally clearing space in our spare bedroom for a full-sized loom...

Do you think it would be difficult to learn how to do this if I could find a nice little loom like you have?

Wise man, Pete!
That little scarf is lovely -- the colors in Crazy Lace Agate really come out against the dark blue warp. And your edges are so even!
You make me want to have a loom even more than I already do!

Very cool, Julie! How old is this loom? Do they even make these anymore?

Beautifully done! Aren't these little looms a BLAST?!
