Every year Meg<\/a> suggests that weavers post photos of their looms as they sit on New Year’s Day. I’ve played this little game for a few years now. Unlike Meg, who took some really cool, artsy-type shots of her looms this year, mine pix are very straightforward.<\/p>\n

From smallest to largest:<\/p>\n

\"rigid<\/a><\/p>\n

My LeClerc rigid heddle loom. Here set up to do a log cabin weave in purple & white rayon. I think I only wove 2 scarves on it this year, but my little RH loom got to enjoy different sights, sounds, and people this year for the community weaving project.<\/p>\n

\"Missouri<\/a><\/p>\n

My Missouri loom, covered with a sheet in my attic. Didn’t weave on her this year at all. I bought this loom specifically for something I could bring to workshops & weaving classes, but didn’t take any. If that continues to be true for me 12 months after I move to Rochester, I’ll sell this loom with no hard feelings.<\/p>\n

\"counterbalance<\/a><\/p>\n

My sweet little counterbalance loom, here with the leftover warp from the scarves I wove for my son and son-in-law for Christmas. (Oh, yeah, I promised to show you the gifts I made for adults this year. Soon, very soon.) Far and away my best weaving friend for years, this honey saw only a little use this year, since I mostly was weaving baby wraps. I can’t believe I’m even thinking this, but if the ‘right’ loom falls into my lap (I’m waiting for the universe to bring me to a 12+ shaft production loom), I will sell this sweetie. But only to someone who will give her a good home.<\/p>\n

\"Macomber<\/a><\/p>\n

Last and largest – although still small in comparison to many floor looms – my 8H Macomber. We’ve become good friends in the past year. Really<\/strong> good friends. I can now dance with my Mac treadles in a way I couldn’t a year ago. She’s brought me lots of income and I’ve tried to treat her well. <\/p>\n

Now go visit Meg’s post<\/a>, then stop by the other weavers who’ve also posted. (Some have direct links at the end of Meg’s post, you can find even more in the comments.)<\/p>\n
