darchildreMy mom gave me a a rigid heddle loom for Christmas (an Ashford 16" SampleIt), because the gods know that I need more textile-based hobbies*. I've spent the evening waxing all the bits to finish them and then assembling the loom.
1) I am so excited to make any number of clumsy, hideous woven objects. And eventually attractive and useful woven objects, but there's going to a long period of hilarious ugly scarves and dishcloths in my immediate future.
2) Building/assembling stuff is so enjoyable. It's honestly a good thing that I don't have a lot of storage space, or I would absolutely have become some sort of model-building hobbyist years ago.
*After weaving, I think the traditional next step is to start looking into raising one's own sheep, but I am planning to stop before I get to that point.
