Our Ashford Loom arrived! It is so cute and beautiful! We had to assemble it. Mom would not let me use the hammer. I do not know why she keeps some tools away from me.When we bought the yarn from Paradise Fibers Ellie mentioned rolling it into a ball. Apparently the beautiful twist is done for shipping and storage but is not good for when you want to use it. One of the cats was very interested in the yarn while mom rolled it into a ball!Here we are weaving our first scarf!!!!! The video says we can make a scarf in about 2 hours. HA HA HA HA HA! No way! It took more than that for mom to set up the warp and weave the first couple of inches! Then she figured out the scarf had to move forward more onto the front roller. Now it is going much better! Also, we picked two kinds of beautiful blue yarn but they are close in color so there is not much of a contrast. We are learning a lot with this first project.Here is one of our foster cats. Her name is Panther. She was very unsociable at first and really hated mom. But mom kept wrapping her in a towel and cuddling her and telling her “We are going to be friends whether you like it or not” and now Panther is friendly and loves lap time. Now instead of being a barn cat she can be a pampered house cat!
