I love mermaids, and I never get tired of finding new ways to create more of them.
And, now, my newest mermaid is woven – on only 6 sticks!
Weaving sticks are probably the easiest loom ever – but that doesn’t mean that there is ANY limit to their creative potential.
I have been having a wonderful time, designing all kinds of magical dolls with them.
I have just released the first of a series of VERY fun patterns for them-
The Mermaid….
I’ve woven these mermaids with hand spun yarn made by my beautiful daughter in law, LINK
using the Weaving Stick loom kit from Lee Valley:USA Link Canadian Link
If you are in Europe or England, you can buy weaving sticks from Suzanne in her etsy shop: LINK
The pattern is available on my website at:MERMAID
By the way, there’s a wonderful group on Ravelry that is all about weaving with sticks and pegs: LINK
Here’s to Mermaids, and here’s to weaving, and, of course, here’s to sticks and string!!! 😀
I’m speechless with admiration…..you are one magical lady !

Noreen, I was wondering if you could make fairies too? I am a fan of both fairies,(including sprites), and mermaids. So I think that fairies would be really neat too.
