Weaving



                                 Hello Friends!

                  Thanks for all the get well wishes!

               I'm finding that my Chiropractor with traction 2 times a week is working wonders. As well as listening to my own 
                                          body!

It is hard, don't get me wrong....I see a weed in my garden and I automatically lean over
and pull it out......Nope can't do that.......
Fill up the large watering can and carry it out to my potted plants.....Nope can't do that either.

No lifting, no pulling, no long car rides in the old vehicles....and so on and so on......

Well that's enough of me....

                                  Let's talk WEAVING!!!!

                       Do you have a bucket list??

                        Weaving's on this list.....

I set out to give it a try......found this post on AKA Design
                            and thought why not!!!

Supplies I needed:

a picture frame......had a 20x16  canvas from the dollar store
took off the canvas and there was my picture frame that I needed.

Nails 3/4 inch in my hubby's garage

a ruler

pencil

scissors

a long tapestry needle

3/4 inch piece of dowelling ...dollar store

yarn and plenty of it......

I'm using DK  heavy weight in white.....

There are may Youtube instructions on how to get started.

As well all the stitches and designs at your fingertips.




I followed the instructions on AKA Design Market Makers Summit.



I also started a board on Weaving  on my Pinterest page.......

               Give it a try...very easy and relaxing.....

  1. That is great you made your own weaving loom. I have one that I had as a little girt, haven't used it in ages, but maybe I should give it a try again. What are you making ... placemat, scarf, bag or ???

  2. I'm so glad to hear that you're starting to see improvement from going to the chiropractor! Hopefully, you'll continue to get better until you don't need anymore help from him at all. I've never done weaving. That looks like fun. Can't wait to see what you make with it.
