weaving on a simple loom
On Sunday I began experimenting with a few weaving projects and I am having so much fun! I love the idea of using simple tools and techniques an adding interest with beautiful fibers and a bit of embroidery. I have a few pieces already finished and waiting to be photographed for the shop!
Have you ever made a cardboard loom? They are the easiest thing in the world and the results (with a little practice) are surprisingly good! While I was making the small weaving above I kept saying, "This is just like a real rug!" : ) Here is a great tutorial if you'd like to try it for yourself.

Inspired by your blog post and the tutorial I had a go at this myself, I love it! Can't put it down now, I sat down to to ten minutes of weaving yesterday and suddenly an hour had passed me by. I've posted about it on my blog and done a little link back to you :)
