Well, I've had an interest in weaving for quite some while now. Last weekend I was donated an entire weaving studio: 32" Ashford 8 shaft table loom with floor stand and pretty much everything I could want to be able to start weaving. I feel I owe it to the donator and, maybe, other beginners in this fine ancient craft to document my progress, share my exasperations and idiotic fumblings and glory in my successes.
Woah! That's not starting at the beginning. Many years ago now (probably near 20) I saw a 4-shaft table loom in junk store in Bristol and bought it without hesitation. My first weaving folly, it was old, delapidated and needed more tlc than I could find time for. A couple of house moves later and it still lives in the attic.
Here's a picture of the new loom
