DustBunnies Under My Loom A mother-daughter team run this great weaving blog. Mom, Lynnette likes to find dustbunnies under her loom as that indicates a busy weaver. Join the pair as they explore new techniques and share their challenges and clever solutions to the issues faced by weavers. They also share several great tutorials on weaving techniques. Thrifty Crafty Tip There are just so many beautiful yarns available and my stash was way too full of yarns I just had to have. Finding great weaving books and old magazines is like a treasure hunt but it's not much fun to bring new treasure home only to discover I already have it in my library. A zippered day planner to the rescue! I created a list of the printed materials that I have already purchased to avoid duplicates. I took small samples of my yarn stash and created a color book with quantity. official color name and manufacturer. Now when I go to shows and my favorite yarn stores, I can compare what I have with what's new and make more financially sound buying decisions. 35 Visitors Since Jan 7, 2010 Additional Details Is this your site?
