Let's Weave!

I've been loving all the Bauhaus textiles that have been flooding pattern
 Pin Boards of Pinterest lately. It's had me contemplating the fine art of

...weaving!

I've not done much weaving before. And what I have done, has always
been done on make-shift, homemade contraptions. Well, last week I
happened upon a large free-standing tapestry loom, just sitting
by the side of the road... like it was waiting for me!

It's been pretty dismal and grey here lately. The kind of weather that's
pretty much perfect for a bit of finger-warming craftwork.
Oh, I can't wait to try my new loom out! 

Do you fancy a spot of weaving? Do you have a loom?
There's a wonderful tutorial here for a DIY tapestry loom ↓
