I don’t remember much about my grandmother. One of my strongest memories is her sewing basket beside her chair. It was always filled with small squares she wove on a small loom. My sister recently gave me our grandmother’s loom. Her craft room loss was my yarn room gain.
The loom is a Weave-It, a popular pin loom from the 1940s and 50s. After googling directions I got to work. I love weaving the small squares.
I plan on sewing the squares together to make a blanket. You don’t need much yarn per square, so I’m going to start a woven scrap yarn blanket.
This is the kind of weaving for me. It’s small. It’s fast. It was free. Audrey is already asking for a loom, so I might be buying another loom on ebay for her birthday next month.
I hope you are all doing well!

This is amazing! I first learned to crochet from my maternal grandmother and that is a special memory. Even thought I forgot and had to relearn, it is so cool to be connected craft wise to family like that. Sorry you don’t remember much about your GM but how awesome to have her loom and to be working on a project with it – amazing 🙂
