Compared to a floor loom, it's a piece of cake but gets the job done so happy to stick with it for a while. When I win the lottery and can build a real studio for my crafts, I might think about moving up to the big girl league.

LOL. Maybe Steve can give you one of these as a retirement gift in a few years.
Good lord, I'd have my mustache woven into that.LOL. Maybe Steve can give you one of these as a retirement gift in a few years.
He'd better also give me a big barn studio to put it in! There's no way I could fit that in my house.LOL. Maybe Steve can give you one of these as a retirement gift in a few years.
Maybe he’ll build an addition onto the office for you to utilize for free in your retirement. And it might have some perks for him... “Hey Marsha, if you have a minute”He'd better also give me a big barn studio to put it in! There's no way I could fit that in my house.
That's one offer I would have no problem refusing no matter how tempting having a studio would be.
This is a free download. Somebody make it. I think it is adorable.

will copy and save patten for a day the fingers are in working order. This cold snap, not so good for crocheting.
Maybe next summer. When you make it, tell me if a beginner could do it. I just think this is so cute.
Those are cool!I go in cycles with my craft du jour and lately I've been leaning toward weaving. I don't have a floor loom--just a rigid heddle and recently acquired an inkle loom to do bands. While looking through Pinterest for ideas for rigid heddle projects (not as easy to find as floor looms), I came across an idea to recycle plastic grocery and department store bags to make totes. You cut the bags into one long strip and then weave it into a warp of cotton carpet yarn. Macy's gets top ranks for theirs BTW.
Here are the results of the first couple. I've put them in as thumbnails as the white one got huge as a full image. Just click on the thumbnail if you want to see more detail.
The white one was the first but the yarn I used for the straps turned out to be way too skinny even though it looked bulky before braiding it. To reinforce it I made the black/red/white band and zigzagged the black yarn in the center. I've added a fabric lining to each of the bags. The one with the horizontal stripes was the second attempt after finding actual bulky yarn to do the handles and for this one added Decor bond to the lining to give it more stiffness.

Oh my gosh, I have a ton if you ever need more! Shopping for 6 people weekly, they add up. I keep telling myself that I'll remember to take the reusable totes, but I rarely do.You send them to me for free and I'll send you back a finished tote.

My aunt had one that she had to put her dining table in storage when she set it up. When she moved in to a smaller house, she got rid of a lot of stuff....but would not part with that. (She would have preferred parting with the dining table.)
I am so making this. Easy, right?
I'm going to make mine taller as I have high ceilings and I'm going to put my quilts on the rungs as decoration instead of stuffed inside a closet.

Lovely sweater but way too complicated for someone like me who just knows how to do granny squares and afghans
that's more than I can do!Lovely sweater but way too complicated for someone like me who just knows how to do granny squares and afghans
Love that and looks really easy to make.
Love the colors, so different from the pukey blues and pinks. I have trouble tying my sneaks but I enjoyed looking at this. THANKS.
That is really cute! It looks a bit complicated to me but... I've been a beginner crocheter for like 30 years lol. Maybe you could start out with a poncho. Ponchos will fit a growing child for a longer time than something fitted too. Additional squares could even be added later.
Baby hospital bands and hat ornament.
