What's on the Loom
Featured
I’m always trying for find ways to work comfortably for longer at my loom. If I can combine exercise with weaving, even better! I’ve tried weaving benches (which I love, particularly with the addition of a sheepskin!), office chairs with wheels (nope!), various kitchen chairs (meh) and even an exercise ball (it promised great things but just didn’t deliver.) Given the frequency of questions on Social Media about stools and benches, I think I’m not alone in the search for the perfect seat.
I recently got my hands on a wobble stool during an office clean out. Let me tell you a little about this stool.
Colour is hard! So here are my four favourite ways to choose what colours to put together.
A few weeks ago I mentioned in a newsletter that I had bought a temple and would do a blog about it after I had a chance to use it for a few projects, so, let’s talk temples today!
Last week I shared a little tale about a measuring mishap. This week, I’m happy to say the finished project is off the loom — six placemats, all woven slightly off-centred on my loom, yet all exactly the same size in the end. Yay me!
I thought about writing up the pattern, but it’s so simple, I wanted to just share with you what I did. Here’s a rough guide / pattern-style recipe. Feel free to choose your own colours. For mine, I used six colours, with a bright pop of red on the edges — the recipients love the beach and the ocean, so the palette was inspired by sun, sand, and sea.
