Every year Meg over at Unravelling<\/a> asks weavers to post photos of their looms on New Year’s Day. In all their glory — or not. No glamming things up for the shots. Here are my looms, now numbering four (gasp!) as is and where they sit.<\/p>\n

First in my home and my heart, my beloved little 4H counterbalance loom.
\n\"counterbalance<\/a><\/p>\n

I took my cityscape scarf off this loom on Monday night. I’ll post about that soon. So the loom is waiting for my next project, which I’ll be starting today.<\/p>\n

Next up is my 8H Macomber.

\nMac and I took a good long time to become friends; I had to experience other looms to realize the benefits of the Mac. Here it sits with enough warp for a baby wrap; I’m awaiting feedback from my testing mamas on sample wrap #2 before I tie it up and weave it off.<\/p>\n

Third is my LeClerc rigid heddle.

I really only use this loom to demonstrate at shows. I warped it up with white mohair, planning to weave it at the Roycroft winter show, which I had to miss due to my nasty stomach bug, so it sits in its spot on top of my bookshelf just waiting for me. It’ll likely wait a good long time.<\/p>\n

Last, and least I’m afraid, is my 4H Missouri.
\n\"4H<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, this loom is so far from top-of-mind for me that I had started this post when I realized I hadn’t taken a picture of the Missouri. You can see it’s sitting between a table and a dresser, as out of the way as I can make it. The warp on it is from the pick-up workshop I did with Su Butler last spring. <\/p>\n

I’m sure I won’t finish this sample warp. I should just cut it off so I can fold up the loom and at least be able to get into that dresser. Why haven’t I?? Maybe doing this post will inspire me to do that. I could even carry it upstairs and cover it from dust — that’d really be out of the way. I’m gonna go do that, right now.<\/p>\n

Wishing you all health & happiness in 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
