Weaving Woe
I've been weaving. I got myself a Size 2 Spears Weaving Loom a while ago and I've been weaving up a storm, mostly making scarves. It can only do things up to 5 feet long and about 6 inches wide. But it is fun.
I was having so much fun I decided to upgrade to a Size 3 loom. It's a little wider and has a better system for handling the warp threads (the long ones that you weave onto). Here's the problem: it took me about 4 hours and a huge pile of wasted yarn to get the warp threads onto the loom. Then I started weaving and it just plain didn't work. The heddle thingy is corroded and sticking to the threads, so it isn't moving them how it's supposed to. Basically, the upgrade has been a bad thing, and I have just ended up wanting another new loom. After a whole day working with my new loom, I have about 6 loose crooked rows of weaving done.
The first two looms cost me about 15 Pounds (don't have the little symbol on this keyboard) each. The loom I really want costs about 80 Pounds. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do about this. I like weaving, but I hate my new loom. But I can't really afford to get a new one right now. Back to the old loom I guess?
