Welcome to Looms and Loons
I've been doing computer graphics for years, most recently building images from the pixel level up. I've been looking for a way to transfer these images to another medium, other than printing them on paper.
A couple of weeks ago, my wife, a talented knitter, bought me a small frame loom [aimed at young children] to introduce me to the amazing world of weaving - one of the fibre arts, along with knitting, crocheting, braiding, etc. - and now I'm hooked.
Her idea was to provide me with the means to produce hard copy - firm copy? -of my computer images. I'm finding it to be a wonderful way to express myself.
First, I have to learn to weave. My tabby is pretty good, and I'm currently trying twill. I'm having a problem with waisting, but I think that I just need more practice.
Wish me luck - wish me skill!
