Easily Amused Monster to Weave on Equilateral Triangle Looms

Sometimes, we need laughter in our lives. It’s such a wonderful way of healing all manner of sorrows!

I have just designed a little bit of woven laughter.

They are certainly not what most people think of as ‘Healing Dolls’, but I am finding them to be VERY healing!

I have been very depressed as I grieve the recent death of my beloved son in law, and both my grief counselor and psychologist have told me that I NEED to have fun and to laugh…..

(if you are having issues with depression, please get help! I am so glad that I have!)

So, here they are…. The Easily Amused Monsters! They are so easy to weave on Equilateral Triangle looms and such fun to personalize and make totally unique.

The Easily Amused Monsters are quirky and are great at making you laugh and smile.

They have washers stitched to the top of their heads, the ends of their arms and legs and one on their faces for a mouth. This means that when little magnets are clicked to the washers, the Easily Amused Monsters can do all kinds of goofy things.

The magnets allow them to take silly poses and to be attached to metal surfaces like fridges, metal doors, filing cabinets etc. and to hold onto things like thimbles ….

Their mismatched eyes add to their silliness.

The Easily Amused Monsters LOVE to give hugs!

If you would like to order the pdf pattern for the Easily Amused Monster

Please post a note in the comments and I will get back to you asap.

The PDF pattern for the full how to’s with step by step photos is $3.50 Cdn.

Etsy is not an option right now.

BUT! A WARNING….. The Easily Amused Monsters are NOT to be given to young children or left in places where dogs, cats or other animal companions can ingest them.

Magnets are dangerous as all get out when swallowed and the eyes, washers and other trims can be a choking hazard for children.

So, have a lot of fun with the Easily Amused Monsters, but do be careful if you have little kiddos or critters in your home.

3 panel Triangle loom shawl woven on 3 foot tri loom

Recently, I designed a fun shawl, and made a video about how to weave a shawl with a collar using 3 triangles woven on the 3ft triangle loom.

The border is made up of triangles woven on the potholder loom.

Here’s the video: The video is full of hints and tips for triangle loom weaving in ‘outside the box’ ways.

Here are 2 ways of weaving triangles on the potholder loom:

I used the first method for this shawl: How to weave a triangle on the potholder loom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6ahC…

How to weave a triangle on the bias on the potholder loom:

I made a separate video about how to stitch the pieces of the shawl together:

Triangle Loom Shawl woven on every other nail

I made a video tutorial showing how to weave on every other nail on the triangle loom when weaving with bulky yarns.

This creates an open lacy weave that drapes beautifully.

The shawl was woven on the 7 foot Dewberry Ridge Triangle loom,using super bulky yarn made by spinning together cotton threads with knitting machine and lace weight yarns.

The every other nail technique also works fine when 2 or 3 strands of medium or fine yarns are held together as if they are a single strand.
This is a very quick and easy way to weave a soft and drapey shawl.

The shawl in the video is a prayer (compassion) shawl made for a dear friend when she lost her Dad.

She loves the shawl, so I am pleased, because of course, I want her to feel that there is love in every stitch and that she can wrap herself in that love whenever she needs it.

Details: I spun a super bulky yarn by combining 7 strands of very fine crochet cotton and knitting machine boucle yarn- cotton and acrylic, on a bulky head spinner. The wpi is 5 wraps per inch. I plied it so it is 14 strands thick.

Here’s the video:
