NEW ASHFORD LOOM




I got my new Ashford 32" RH loom, ****super happy dance**** ;oD. I love it, now I have to put it together, yikes, but it looks simple enough (famous last words before I screw up) haha.

Na I'm pretty much mechanically inclined, love to build furniture and if I can knit, loom and weave, tools do not faze me as long as they are small ones LOL. Hopefully I can build it, warp it and get my butt in gear before the weekend is out. So what should I make first, you know 32" is a lot of loom space, especially since I've been doodling around with that baby Brio, I got a whopping 5" of width on a scarf I'm weaving , thank God it's for a little girl and it's a fashion scarf so thin and long is the way to go on that one.

So what should me first project be, any suggestions??

Yay! Merry early Christmas to you! I know how you felt when you opened that box....snoopy dance time!

How about a shawl for the fall season? I'm on a shawl kick myself :)

Congratulations! I am really curious about RH weaving. The possibilities are endless: a wider scarf?, a shawl?, place mats?, dish towels??????
