I'll put a hex on you...

You all know by now that I'm obsessed with small lap looms. Until recently I've been using my four Hazel Rose diamond looms more often than the rest. Oh yes, you read that correctly. My toolbox is full of lap looms in a variety of shapes and sizes other than diamonds. I have triangles, squares, rectangles, tumbling blocks, and my newest acquisition, the hexagon loom (which Hazel had laying around her workshop and agreed to sell it to me upon my request...Thank you Hazel!).

You see, I had a wild idea stuck in my craw, which entailed weaving on the hex loom in a similar fashion to that of weaving on any other small frame loom. I envisioned a straight weave, working warp and weft simultaneously, thereby eradicating the complicated warping method previously promoted for hex shaped lap looms. My crazy contemplations were definitely not in vain for I was eventually able to figure the weave out...

Ta-da!





Not bad eh?

Here's the hex freshly liberated from it's frame....



Methinks I see a woven hex throw or bedspread in my future....
