Wonderfully Woven

Lookie what I wove on my trusty tri-loom...





Shawl in "mid-loom".



Yes, that would be a lovely, loopy, quite tartan-like shawl! I even fringed it and I'm not a fringer!

Well, not a fringer in the myriad long strings sense anyway.

I cannot tell you how amazing it is to be weaving again! Although the process of making fabric differs somewhat when weaving on a tri-loom as opposed to that of a traditional floor loom. However, the rhythm of the weave transcends the type of loom used to create the fabric nonetheless...Over, under, over, under, over, under...

I love it!

Which is good because I have to finish up my diamond loom projects and make some time to dress my new Ashford Knitters Loom...

So, when you dress a loom, does it like to casual in jeans and a T-shirt or do you put something on it with a little glitter?

Seriously, I don't know these loom terms.
