I'm buying a loom

Now that I just sent the first payment to the amazing Dawn, I am going to be getting this baby (scroll down to the 3rd photo to see the true prize) some time in the next month or two. I am overjoyed. A dream I've had for so long of learning to weave will finally come true. I fell in L-O-V-E with the Kessenich looms at MDSW back in May, and I had a moment of temptation a few months back when Dawn was selling a 24" Kessenich. But I really wanted the 36", and now I am getting it. I could not be more thrilled. It will be quite an adventure going to get it. It's a long drive (nine and a half hours!), and I'm not sure yet how we're going to transport it, because it's not going to fit in the Prius. There may be truck rental or the purchase and attachment of a trailer hitch to one of our cars involved. I hope The Professor will be able to make the road trip with me. I've got to figure out where to put it, too. It's a pretty substantial piece of equipment. Hooray!

  2. Congrats on the loom! I think that's pretty cool. Are you going to Wisconsin to pick it up? I'd love to go on a roadtrip to Wisconsin.

  4. Oops--tried to correct something in my comment, but guess that is verboten.

    What I said was, I will be miles away from the loom, even once you get it home, but I still can hardly wait! It's a fab birthday present to gift yourself---you deserve it!!! Maybe videos of you working on the loom are in order?
