I have had some time off work due to stress and noticed a weaving loom for sale near my parents on ebay (April 2011) . I got it cheaply and have started to experiment. I also put a ridiculously low bid in for a floor loom and also got that (£20.82) (Nov 2011). I have nearly finished my shed to put it in. Being a cheapskate I have salvaged everything (including all the nails holding it together). It should be water tight by the end of the day and I can then assemble my loom.

I have been to the last two meetings of Nottinghamshire Spinners Weavers and Dyers. Their next meeting is tomorrow when we shall be doing inkle weaving. I will have to carry three cotswold fleeces with me on my bike. Two have been bought and one is still for sale.

Next month I am getting some Oxford Down fleeces (11) and am looking to sell most of them. I have been lent a spinning whell and hope to do everything from fleece to finished product. Still at the beginning stage but certainly not as stressed as I was.

I hear the Cotswold Sheep Association are doing a weaving thing but all I can find is a spinning day and a trip to a weaving mill. Have been told ot os neither of these but cannot contact person who told me to find out more. WHen I do I will post info
