Earlier in May, I read on my dear friend, Terri’s blog about a virtual scarf project.
I was intrigued, and have been thinking about it since.

I’ve been immersed in weaving bands that are going to be part of a memorial for a woman I adored- my late mother-in-law. She was an amazing and delightful woman who was a joy and one of the dearest friends and greatest influences in my life.

Several years ago, I bought an odd little loom from a lady online. She said that she didn’t know exactly what it was, but that it could be used for weaving narrow bands.
I am a passionate ‘narrow band’ weaver, and was intrigued by the possibilities of playing with it.
Because of it’s odd configuration, I use […]
