My 1st Weaving Loom

Well, I did it. I bought a weaving loom. It's all over now. Not only am I hooked, but my daughter is too.:)
We bought a 10" Cricket loom. If you've never woven before, like me, there is a lot of new terminology to get used to. The booklet that comes with the loom has a glossary that is helpful. 

I think the hardest part is warping the loom. Once you figure that out, weaving is a breeze. 

Here is the loom warped and ready to weave. 





Here is my finished scarf (I have not washed or blocked it yet. I am so happy with it. I secured the edges with hemstitch. You can find a great tutorial here
