It's the perfect size for leaving my shoes when I come in from outside. I rarely wear shoes in the house.
The larger rug frame was also unearthed in the garage. I grabbed a ball of prepared denim and loaded the warp on the frame. I haven't twined for nearly five years and look forward to sitting outside on the patio to twine.
Previous twining posts can be found here.
I love it!!!! My looms are all packed up because of the remodeling and I miss them so much. I am tempted to drag out the small rigid heddle but then I come to my senses. I don't have room for anything.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just discovered a YOUTUBE video on twining a rug and making the frame to do it! I was sucked right in! This looks like such fun--good for you! I will send you the link for the video-

ReplyDeleteFor a video on twining if you've forgotten how to start! lol
I've never used a loom. But I remember a neighbor lady when I was a kid who had a big loom in her house and made rugs to sell. I was always fascinated with the process. She let us kids come in and watch sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! I have never done this.
ReplyDeleteI love that so, so so much!!! My rug is so cherished!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I don't *need* one more thing to do, but that does look like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mat! I'd love to make some of those mats.It looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a pandemicwith stay at home orders to push us to finish things. I’ve succeeded in making several tops that have been in various stages. Nice to finish something and to have an immediate purpose for it. I’m looking forward to seeing the next one progress.
ReplyDeleteI recall that you did some twine work. I got to see a gal doing it...fun craft for sure! Your mat is perfect for shoes. We don't wear shoes in the house either:)
ReplyDeleteNeat!
ReplyDeleteHow about that! It's all completely new to me, never heard of the work twining. You got that UFO finished quickly and it looks great as a mat for shoes. I also checked out the links to the older posts about twining, very interesting, thanks for showing us all about this craft.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of twining either. I do like that mat for your shoes. It's the perfect size.
