It is just for fun really, playing around and improving my skills. And using up bits and pieces of yarn. And making different size pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually I&#8217;d like to make four-selvedge woven covers for little books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s my first piece, taken off the loom. I  attempted to finish the edge but this did not go well. Next up is an attempt to weave an orange circle on a turquoise blue background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_1130.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_1130.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_1130-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I broke down and bought myself a little loom with tensioning.
