Rectangle Loom... Another Addiction

Let me just preface this post by saying ...I did NOT need another fiber project right now but as usual I have NO WILL POWER when it comes to the fiber projects that pop into my head whenever they darn well feel like it.

I really wanted a rectangle loom to make some wraps and scarves. I would have preferred to purchase one but the logical side of my brains screams "try it before you buy it". It's not as if I can run to a friends house up the road and borrow one so... I decided to make one. The hubby has given me every power tool known to man and taught me how to use them so it's not as if I didn't already have most of what I needed. A quick trip to the local hardware store and my latest project was in the works.

I did pretty good with the building, drilling, nailing, finishng, but the waiting for the glue to dry pissed me right off. Did I mention I have no patience? I went out to feed animals while the glue dried, ate my own dinner, and finally it was time to begin my first weaving project.

I had a hard time selecting which yarn to use. I have a few events coming up and I really don't want to use up all my latest yarns on a practice project. I finally decided on this merino superwash I had spun and didn't care for much. I love the colors but for some reason this yarn didn't make me go "wow" so it was the perfect practice yarn for the weaving. Mind you, I'm doing this with no directions and it's truely a "wing it" project.

Here's what I've got so far and now that I've got my grandson down for a nap I'm going to go get some more done. I'll post final pics when it's done.
