Thanks Claudia! I am absolutely loving my loom, and wish I had tried this years ago. I am keeping good records of my trials, and hope to weather through a few projects on my own, but possibly take a class with you next winter. I like the idea of having some help with my warping to make it easier, and also finishing the dish cloth projects over a weekend. I will save my pennies and hopefully have a little more time on my hands for early 2012. :)

Thanks Sharon! For a very first project, I was pleased too. I thought my selvedges needed a little work though! Recording the width is interesting for the first few projects...ha! I learned a lot about pattern and how yarns will react with each other, and also I was amazed at how soft and *not* bulky the Merino wool can be. I thought the scarf would be thicker. I think learning about how all of the various fibers interact will be the most fun of all.
