Days 4 and 3 and 2 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms
For this year’s 100 Day Project, I am co-creating with my brother, Jonathan (@distinctivewoodworking) and his son, Kieran.
They are turning the parts for small looms and spool knitters on the lathe, and I am doing all kinds of things with the wonderful wooden elements.
We are calling it: #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms
I am posting it here and on IG @noreen.cronefindlay
Here’s where I am at on Day 4 and working backwards to Day 2:
Oooh… painting! Here are a couple of little spool knitters and the beginnings of a little loom that I painted today.
Day 3 was frustrating:
The rheostatic pyrography machine that my lovely husband built me more than 35 years ago went kaput.
Oh no! my Luvie had to rebuild it for me so I could carry on burning the drawings into the spool knitters and little looms.
I spent Day 2 of the project working on getting a LOT of holes drilled and then fine tuning the insides of 17 small spool knitters in preparation for tapping in and gluing the nails into the holes.
Doesn’t sound like much hard work, but really, it is.
Then it was time to start drawing. Yay!
I am having so much fun…. 🙂
