(And sometimes I'll use other excuses too!)<br /><br />I had to unweave some today, and I love those scissors for cutting anything on the loom - or for finishing. One of my sewing friends showed me hers, and I really love them.<br /><br />The stitch ruler was hard for me to find. I couldn't find it at Joann Fabrics near me, but eventually I ended up in a cross-stitch shop and they had them. (It was the cross-stitch shop next to Keepsake Quilting near Lake Winnipesaukee.<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-16534165610106862632009-10-11T14:44:54.457-04:002009-10-11T14:44:54.457-04:00I didn't even know a stitch ruler existed.

I love the towels and have discovered how heavy multiple shafts are and how much my back knows it too.<br /><br />BTW, I've left an award for you on my blog so the next time you pass that way, pick it up :)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-52120116875152992932009-10-11T10:24:44.033-04:002009-10-11T10:24:44.033-04:00What a smart tool this cross stitch ruler is, I...What a smart tool this cross stitch ruler is, I'm sure going to look if I can find one, too.charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536773648371607808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-87831362133248661422009-10-11T08:19:02.656-04:002009-10-11T08:19:02.656-04:00What great new toys!

My man...I know what you mean about too many ideas. My mantra now is just keep weaving, sometimes just winging it at the loom instead of planning borders out. They were the first ones sold! <br /><br />Next time I'm at JoAnne's or Michael's, I need to look for one of those rulers, great idea. The<br />scissors, too. I haven't cut a warp thread yet, but why continue to risk it?Janice Zindelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564376726709127028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-75029787812475522852009-10-10T15:59:49.463-04:002009-10-10T15:59:49.463-04:00More weaving.

It's got 8 shafts, so it's kind of heavy, but it is possible to take it to workshops. <br /><br />"Gift and curse" is a good way to describe having too many ideas. I have to remind myself of the gift part sometimes!!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-24466062386936846072009-10-10T12:19:06.701-04:002009-10-10T12:19:06.701-04:00I completely understand the gift and curse of too ...I completely understand the gift and curse of too many ideas!
