I don't know if it's because I grew up in England and learned more than your average kid might have about fiber arts, but I remember learning the basics of weaving and the different parts of the loom. So, while I'm sitting in my office on my lunch break with nothing much to do, I started surfing the web for tutorials on how to make a home made loom. Next thing you know I'm constructing a coaster with some cardboard, yarn (which I always have in my office anyway) and my letter opener, which conveniently has a hole in the end to secure the yarn with and use as a shuttle.
I'm convinced that you can hand a crafter three completely random objects and tell them to make something and they'll find a way to MacGyver it.

Do you see yourself weaving as much as knitting and spinning? I've tried weaving and it doesn't hold the same joy for me as knitting does. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm curious about how others feel about it.
I doubt weaving will hold the same for me as knitting and spinning, but I can see that it's fun to experiment with. I think I need to come up with a better "loom" though! Hehe.
