They say the first stage of recovering from addiction is admitting you have a problem.

Hi.

I’m Ann, and I’m a fibre-holic.

Knitting, crocheting, felting, dyeing and spinning just weren’t enough for me.

So I bought a loom.

I unboxed it and assembled it:

Then I warped it and started to weave on it:

From Warp to Weaving

It took me a long time to get set up, but when I’d got it all set up, I produced a piece of weaving that’s 11 inches by 9 inches in a couple of hours, and that was with all kinds of newbie mistakes and a total lack of any kind of weaving skill.

This shit is FAST, and crack has nothing on it in terms of addictiveness.

It totally rocks.

I’ve been thinking about getting a loom over the last few days – you’ve tempted me even more!

Congratulations! It took me five days to put together my first loom. The air was frequently blue with you-know-what-kind-of-words! And yes, weaving is addictive! On the basis of this piece–which is really quite beautiful, mistakes or no, and you definitely need to keep it–I look forward to seeing many more things come off your loom.
