Happy New Year! It’s time to catch up on everything that was put on hold during the festive marathon. First of all, I received a new warp spreader for the loom just before New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s taller and has finer spacing than the first one, and comes with an extra fixation at the top. Once again, the craftsman has made a brilliant improvement to the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our eldest daughter (she\u2019s three and a half) received a children\u2019s loom made by SES:<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s more of a fun and symbolic gift than a truly practical one – although you still can<\/em> weave on it. The main drawback is that the shed is very narrow, so the shuttle doesn\u2019t pass through easily; you have to manually pick the threads onto it. That said, the most important thing is that she now proudly announces she has her own loom – just like mum. \ud83d\ude00 Even better, she\u2019s taken a real interest in embroidery too, and can now spend quite a while carefully stitching back and forth. The next step will be teaching her how to place stitches in a deliberate sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipients of the band with names received it just after Christmas. Their response, word for word, was: \u201cwe\u2019re speechless.\u201d<\/em> \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next few days I\u2019ll be making another eight weights and warping up the next project: a cotton belt with 1\/1 diagonals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
