Our youngest daughter has a tabletop kind of loom, but I haven't a clue where to start with it. <br /><br />Best wishes to you in your weaving adventures. :)<br /><br />Have a blessed day!Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-78144481416263256062015-09-18T19:25:57.313-05:002015-09-18T19:25:57.313-05:00Ahhh yes...you would know about the state of PA.

'Kit Looms' are making a come back in the craft world. There are all kinds from the potholder loom to knitting looms and more. I remember weaving potholders for my Mom. She was always so encouraging to this 'I need to create' kid.Sue McPeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927975578544675345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-67385538002336332102015-09-18T13:03:33.613-05:002015-09-18T13:03:33.613-05:00PA is a darn nice state (and cooler now with prett...PA is a darn nice state (and cooler now with pretty fall leaves). Anyway, you'd enjoy touring Amish country - the quilts, weavings, etc are wonderful. You explore and try so many neat things - I am always impressed. I admit the weaving interests me a lot. I remember doing a bit as a kid - like on a "Kit loom". Fun.

I have seen some Amish weavings done on the large floor looms as well as small lap looms. Their craftsmanship in all handwork is incredible. I would love to visit PA someday.Sue McPeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927975578544675345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-10226789625234260402015-09-18T07:13:11.742-05:002015-09-18T07:13:11.742-05:00I bought some woven placemats in PA years ago from...I bought some woven placemats in PA years ago from an Amish/Mennonite shop.
