School starts in three weeks. Exams are in two. Group review sessions, organized by us, the folks who need to review, started for me today. Yes, Labor Day. I’ve got enough to do, and enough structure to do it in, for the first time in weeks.
So today I brought home a loom.
There it is, on my bed. It’s a BRIO loom I had as a kid. It’s small. In case that wasn’t obvious, here’s my hand with it. I have small hands.
I don’t recognize the project that’s in progress, so it may have been used by some cousins in the time since I last saw it. On the other hand, I may have just forgotten. I like the colors, you see.
I’ve been knitting a bit, on a sweater for Hazel. It’s not really my style, and that’s getting to be a bigger problem the closer it gets to finished, because I have chosen to be involved in the design process. This means trying to think of ways to make me like it more, although it originally meant trying to think of ways to make Cedar like it and me not get too bored with knitting it. Since I know the overlap between my taste in sweaters and Hazel’s is not large, I’m worried. This sleeve I’m working on now I have already finished and ripped out once.
The way it looks now is considerably more similar to my original sketch, with which all parties did seem satisfied. I just can no longer remember why I liked it. I guess I’ll try to wait and see.
Exams in two weeks, two weeks ago. How are they going?
Sending you problem solving and good testing energy.
Oh My gosh! Two of these were given to me in dilapidated form. They both need that red heddle piece. If possible could you give me the dimensions of that piece? As brio no longer supplies them so I have to rig something. How many slots does it have?
Thanks in advance!
