I've never threatened to chop one in to firewood, but did grumble many remarks about throwing one particularly frustrating one out the window a number of times (it was a borrowed loom, which I'm no longer borrowing!).<BR/><BR/>That's too bad somebody isn't around there to salvage the nice parts. It's a shame when a loom isn't good for anything more than firewood. But on the other hand, it can be <I>incredibly</I> frustrating to work on a loom that isn't in good shape - so I suppose they can't all be saved.<BR/><BR/>By the way - Thanks for visiting my blog! I had fun reading some of your posts here, and hadn't stumbled across yours until I got your comment :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978632925950937140.post-15116426417256381532009-03-30T22:26:00.000+01:002009-03-30T22:26:00.000+01:00to be honest, i can't face traipsing over to penri...to be honest, i can't face traipsing over to penrith and back before gheading up north. i forget how tiring travelling becomes, being out of your comfort zone, having to sleep on strange couches and so on.<BR/><BR/>so i think i'll probably let it slide.<BR/><BR/>shame thoughAndrew Kieranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997798351349771733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978632925950937140.post-92151777651571652322009-03-30T05:20:00.000+01:002009-03-30T05:20:00.000+01:00Great minds think alike!

After a while, though, it gets too easy to become overwhelmed with loom parts and accessories -- and too limited space! I've learned so much putting together loom parts myself -- it's great instruction in itself.SpinningLizzyhttp://www.spinninglizzy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
