I began this series on small looms that I love with my beloved potholder loom.
One thing that is truly lovely about potholder looms is that you can buy the absolute Cadillac of the potholder loom world for very little money…. less than the price of a movie and popcorn!
Which loom am I speaking about?
Metal potholder […]

The other day, I posted about making teeny bears for charity.
Today, it hit me that I could use the pattern that I designed for a teeny potholder loom woven bear to make felted comfort bears for the women and children at the women’s shelter.

But, I have hardly ever made potholders with the potholder loom! Which I find rather funny.
Anyhow, I was thinking about augmenting some of the kitchen gifts that Jim has been making. I […]

The death of a sister is a terrible thing, and I send heartfelt hugs to other people who are going through this, too…..

Here’s how to weave a 2/2 check pattern on the potholder loom.For this square, I am using Caron Simply Soft combined with several strands of sewing machine thread to add more zip to the colorways:
Tie both colors (in this case, Limelight and Blue Mint) to the loom, and warp it with 2 passes of each […]

When I was collaborating with elinor peace bailey on our book:
Storytelling with Dolls,
I knew, right from the first moment, that I was going to design dolls to be made on the potholder loom.
I went through 5 different series of dolls…. experimenting,
