One Thing At A Time

Day 95: You've heard it said that there are exceptions to every rule. Weaving is the exception to my self-imposed restriction which dictates that I can only work on one project at a time of any particular type of fiberart. Knit, crochet, tat, etc., I am only allowed one of each in progress. Why is weaving different? Because there are so many different ways it can be done. Certainly, all of them involve crossing vertical threads with horizontal ones if it comes right down to it, but each style of weaving requires a different skill-set to achieve the end result. Although three of the looms in the picture are small and portable and generally occupy the living room when in service, the floor loom (a corner of which is visible in the lower right) is what gives the "Loom Room" its name. It went into that room in pieces, and the only way it will ever come out is if it is dismantled. It occupies over a quarter of the available floor space. Looms not currently in use take up much of what remains. I nearly always have at least two looms in operation, and there has never been a time when all of them were empty at once.
