Cardboard box loom…
i’ve always wanted to learn how to weave, but i was definitely not going to buy a loom just for learning. this cardboard box loom is, therefore, one of my greatest finds lately. i’ll have to find a suitable box first, but as soon as i get my hands on one, i’l get my weaving on! ;)

Relationship between computer and weaving looms…
I thought it to be appropriate to discuss the symbiotic relationship between weaving and computers on the day that a pioneer of computing technology died.

Video on how to make a tiny loom out of an old book…
Making a tiny weave-it loom out of a book. It kind of makes me cringe to destroy a book, but it’s for a crafty purpose… that’s okay. I’ll get something crappy at the charity shop later this week. Then stop by the builder supply shop.
I wonder if it’d be easier to have the hole (like my Harrisville Potholder loom is, with the opening in the middle) than to have a solid back.
I’ll give this a try.
Fancy weaves, slack tension, skip dent, etc.
And another set of fabrics I made, also in December’11. I used really random stuff in them, like old socks…khihi, knitting fabric on looms was fuuuuuun! and oh so relaxing :3

Hand loom in Arusha…
I’m starting this blog as a place to showcase Arusha street fashion. Since I’ve lived here, I’ve been fascinated by the beautiful tailoring and colorful textiles of East African clothing, the resourcefulness and creativity of mix-and-match second-hand clothing, and the original eccentric youth style seen in Arusha. Everyone pictured here has agreed to have their picture taken and If anyone wishes to have their photograph removed, please contact me using the “ask” button at the top right of this page and I will gladly take it off the site. Karibuni!
Creative weaving!
