Learning to Weave

 

It was Veteran's Day 2025, our granddaughter came to visit. She brought her metal potholder loom, a gift from last Christmas. She had made several potholders, using up all the loops that came with the loom. I surprised her with a large bag of pastel colored loops, enough to make 6 more potholders. She sat at the craft table sorting out the colors she wanted for the next potholder. She chose two shades of purple and started to set up her loom.

 While she worked I explained that I was working on a different type of loom and that clothes and other items she sees every day were made by weaving. Our sweetie liked my weaving, that I was practicing on.

 I mentioned that after I figure this piece out, I could make one for her room in the colors she likes, pinks and purple.

 My weaving is done! When I get yarn to work on hers, I will begin!

Veteran's Day was a good day for the Brooke Family, although our granddaughter and her dad had to leave early. My husband Sandy and I along with our older son Gordon enjoyed an early dinner at Olive Garden!
