I spent about half an hour there today and got a few inches done. I’m getting better and faster at it. Here’s a view from the top.

And a view from beneath the loom. I have about 99cm. completed. That’s about 3 feet.

I’d like to sneak in there tomorrow and do some more work, but I’m not sure I’m allowed to on Sunday. I think I want to make it about 200cm, but might stop at about 175.

Ask me what I did today!

My friend Lori made a blanket for our friend Maralyn who moved back to the US. I wanted to make a blanket, too, so I joined Lori today and learned how.

We hung the yarn up so we could spin it into these little ball things. This was a tough technique, but I had mastered it by the time I left.

Time for my lesson! Ritva showed me what to do.

It’s starting to look like something!

I got quite a bit done but I forgot to take a picture before I left. I’m going back tomorrow after school. I hope to finish it this weekend and have it fluffed next week.
