[Nfb-krafters-korner] National Craft Month

[ncbootman at gmail.com]

Joyce,

Your looms sound so neat. What part of NC is this man located in? I'd love 
to know how to weave on one of those looms! I bet it takes a lot of yarn. 
Or, does it?

Greg

You have peaked my curiosity now.  I have never heard of these looms.  Can't
even imagine how you would work on one.  I have used the hexican for place
mats and hot mats.

Well for National Craft MonthI got , who am I trying to kid? Just for me, I
found a new but old type of loom and purchased 2 matching looms.  Some of
you remember going back when I was in the beginning of my blind days, do you
remember me talking about my triangle looms?  I got into this kinda big
time.  Triangle looms are built to do continuous weaving.  You don't weft
and wharf   which means put strands of yarn going in one direction  all the
way top to bottom and then weave yarn side to side.  I had or have at least
6 tri looms ranging from 1 foot up to 7 foot across the hypotenuse[didn't
have a 6 foot one]  I really enjoyed working on them, but didn't have a
place to keep it up & standing nor an outlet to sell the shawls I made on
them.

OK that is old news.  Well on EBay  I was curious if they had folks still
making the tri looms and I found this gentleman in NC that had them.  What
caught my interest was he had some smaller looms that he made and I had to
have them.  I have an 8 1/2"  diamond loom  coming   and a 12" with 8 1/2"
sides coming my way.

You ask what she's going to do with that?  With diamonds, triangles and
squares you make all kind of quilt blocks.  Think what you can do with woven
shapes!  I can make them look like quilt blocks.  Do some different colors
and varigaded yarns wow?  Now just imagine using a selft striping yarnand
some solids.  You might think, self striping yarn worked on a triangle or
diamond loom?  Those stripes will come out as plaids!  They are going to
think how did this blind person get to do this?  I will see how it works up
and then decide if I need the square.

I guess you can say I got myself a Crafting tool for making quilts out of
yarn.  So that covers the National Crafting & Quilting Months for me.

Joyce
