Loom It!

-


Like anyone who loves fiber arts I am always fascinated by looms and the projects made with them.  I've never taken the leap to purchase a loom but, after seeing an idea on Pinterest, I decided to make a pin loom to try my hand at it. 

You go into a project like this not realizing just how damn tedious it's going to be to hammer in all those tiny nails lol! 
 
It was worth it though!  This type of weaving is hella enjoyable...It reminded me a bit of those potholder looms from when I was a little girl.  I'm not sure what I'll use it for but I can see that it will, at the very least, be a way for me to utilize the novelty yarns that I just had to have but that can't be knit or crocheted with!

Idle Hands Being What They Are...

I've been trying to keep busy in between bouts of introspection and the craziness that comes with moving on, actually moving, divorce, and all the rest of life's craziness and decisions.  Working on this recycled paper basket has helped me pass the time at work.
