I haven’t been blogging–or knitting–very much lately, but just recently I’ve become interested in small, handheld looms, like the Weave-Its on the Eloomanation<\/a> site. With them, you weave small squares, and if my eyes aren’t dececiving me, you can actually make a vast array of woven creations<\/a> with them. (I’m hankering to make a hat, like the one in this PDF pattern book from 1936<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Because it’s fairly hard to get a 4″x4″ loom (they were popular in the 1930s and ’40s) unless you’re willing to bid on ebay, I decided to start off cheaply by buying a potholder loom from Wal-mart. You remember these guys. We all probably tried to make potholders with those nylon loops when we were children. But, instead of using the loops that came with my $5 plastic loom, I followed the tutorial by\u00a0Noreen Crone-Findlay that is posted on\u00a0Youtube (part\u00a01<\/a> and part 2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Making one square takes about 15 minutes. I chose some Moda Dea yarn, wove about ten squares, and then sewed them together. I highly suggest reading up on sewing techniques because I didn’t, and my seams are a little clunky. Oh well, live and learn.<\/p>\n

The result is a pretty nifty scarf, if I do say so myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
