I've been working again on the use the shop yarns idea. As some of you know I don't have room for a full size weaving loom but like to play with children's looms so I dug out the Spears Weaving Loom size 2 (1960's)and a Ball of Mirage yarn.
Progress is slow but I have enough cloth now to make something (small) and have been looking through the pattern books for ideas :-)
Now , would you really want to use a childs woven cloth as oven gloves!!!

Your lace is stunning. I remember having a loom like that - not sure what size it was though. Love the colours of the wool you are using
I had that loom, but I don't remember the pattern book..or maybe I do but I'm in denial as my weaving was always extremely wonky and tight in the middle and any of those things were beyond me. I did get one of those distant memory feelings when I saw them, though, and they certainly evoked a feeling of unfulfilled ambition in me!
I've just had another look..my loom didn't have a very efficient heddle. There was a sort of grooved square section rod which had to be twisted so that the warp settled in the correct groves for each row...impossible.
My that takes me back. When I was in infants class, we had to weave a square which the teacher made up into a pot holder and my mum used it for years.
