weave on

I'm almost finished with the first project of my "new" hobby of weaving. I should be ready to take it off the loom tomorrow.  That will be the big test.  If it holds together I'm a success.  I was describing the scarf to my daughter earlier today and she wants it for Christmas, so I guess you could say I've already started my Christmas shopping, I did have to shop for the yarn after all.  This evening I attended the first gathering of a newly formed yarn group at my church.  I felt a little self-conscious carrying in my loom when everyone else had knitting or crocheting projects with them, but everyone seemed very interested in what I was doing and we all had a really good time. Now my challenge is to have a new project going by next Monday and this time I will have to put the warp on the loom all by myself. I had really forgotten how much fun weaving can be.
