So Relaxing

I read the book "The Tooth of Time" by Sue Henry. Some of the characters in the book are weavers. I researched table top looms and weaving for children. If I ever want to know something in a hurry, I check out "how tos" for children. The information is quick, insightful, easy to understand. Knowing how I am with new projects, ie rocket building, guitar playing, candle making, I decided to make a simple loom out of cardboard. Now the floral shop has lots of cardboard. I made a loom 5 feet long, and notched the narrow ends every 1/4 inch. I then headed off to the Thrift Shop. You know what they say, "One person's junk is another's treasure." I chuckled when I brought home skeins of yarn for $10.61. I am making a scarf, and in season could buy 3 scarves for $5. I had no preconceived idea of the color of the scarf--but since I found 4 skeins of yellow, I thought, maize and blue. I say to myself "another 5 rows" and when those are finished, "5 more rows"...
