Happy New Year! It\u2019s 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 \u2013 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 \u2013 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":"
