Here’s another sneak peek into my new Potholder loom book:
Scarves, stoles, shawls…. all to weave on potholder looms!
For now, the book can be pre-ordered online and then in January 2020, it will be in bookstores worldwide.
Here’s a little video that shows scarves, stoles and shawls from the book:
Happy Weaving!
For the last couple of years, I have been working on a new design for the potholder loom.
It’s for a Geometric Butterfly motif- and I have finally finished the pattern for it, and for a bag and wrap made using it.

The Geometric Butterfly motif is wonderful for bags:

and wraps

It would also make beautiful prayer flags, pillows, afghans, vests, throws, wall hangings, table runners and whatever else your heart desires.
It’s a great way to showcase handspun yarns, but commercial yarns work just fine with it.
Tarn, or t shirt yarn is also great in the Geometric Butterfly pattern.
The pattern has full color step by step photos and diagrams, and comes with links to helpful videos.
There is a separate pdf that has all the step by step photos and instructions for how to weave all the different shapes on the potholder loom.
Isn’t it amazing what you can do on the simple potholder loom? 🙂
I wanted to wrap my daughter with love, so I decided to weave her a stole or scarf that has the hand prints of our near and dear.
And in the hand prints, are little hearts that I wove on my heart loom. LINK for how to weave them.

I wove the triangles on the 14 inch triangle loom from Dewberry Ridge looms LINK

And showed how to do the chain stitch drawings: LINK

And, how to weave the flower from hearts: LINK

Because the scarf/stole/shawl will be seen from both sides, I stitched a heart to each side of the stole :o)
I plan on crocheting an edge around it eventually, but am holding off on that until we are sure that we don’t want more triangles added to it.
I love being able to pour my love into a special gift- with love in every stitch! 😀
In every stitch is a wish for happiness!
