Sometimes a tool that wasn’t originally meant to be a loom can be adapted to become a handy dandy little loom.
A couple of years ago, I bought an acrylic wire bending jig and drilled a few more holes in it.
I have used it to weave a LOT of little Goddess dolls and it’s one of my favorite looms.
Creative adaptive re-configuration for the win!

Day 72 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms-
I have always loved making dolls.
I am a dyed in the wool upcycler, so using upcycled things in my doll making is really important to me.
My ‘Rosie Recycle’ dolls are ‘pin dolls’ that have pins on the backs of their heads so they can be hung on a curtain, worn on a lapel or hat, or pinned to bag or backpack.
Their bodies are jointed from the neck so they ‘dance’.
I love them 🙂 They are so much fun to make!
When I wrote the instructions, I didn’t include lucet cords, but the Rosie Recycle dolls can definitely be made with lucet cords as well as spool knitters.
There are instructions for crocheted as well as knitted versions in the PDF pattern book. The pattern is in my etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/43880591/rosie-recycle-dolls-pattern-ebook-pdf
