I have been seeing so much weaving around, and since I hadn’t tried anything since Christmas – it was time to start again.
If you remember from this post, I didn’t have a real loom when I tried my last project. I also didn’t feel like spending over $50 for a loom.
I found this version at Walmart for under $30, and it worked pretty well! Assembly is a little tricky, but everything works once you get started. This loom is also great for many different types of projects, so I’m happy with the purchase π
I didn’t really have a plan for the weaving, just the yarn and ribbon that I wanted to use. I definitely want to mix more ribbon into my next project.
I love the texture I got from wrapping the purple yarn… I don’t really remember how I made this happen, but I know that it looks awesome π
Time to finish and trim everything! I was sitting outside on my deck when I took this… that’s why the background is not white :/ sorry about that… but not sorry for crafting in the sunlight π π π
The tassels on it could be better, but they’re ok.
sometimes you just need a second opinion via snapchat…. The answer is yes.
I went with a knitting needle – I have so many size 8 needles lying around!! this set (I used the other one for Stef’s Christmas gift) was really too short for knitting anyway.
All done! Hope you like it! Can’t wait to make more! These can be pretty quick to make… especially when watching a few episodes of Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix…
