@th just demoed the sewing machine for the kids; this is inspiring me to take it to the next level

@th not going because my lease sticks lazzored from delrin are too flexible so i gotta wait until i can mail order some hardwood ones :(

@ranjit this entire evening has been discussing all of the 3D printed and laser cut accessories we need to make for our friends loom.

@th @Ranjit somehow I think you should probably know Richard Weait, a Linux/OSM/Maker/Woodwork nerd now living in Denmark. He's a big ol' weaving nerd, and his partner (who's pretty senior at Lego) is also an incredible woven goods artist.

Dunno if either of them do fedi things tho

@th I could really see myself getting into weaving...

@th Any recommendations for someone thinking about getting started with weaving? Please loominate me.

@kyle @th I think the very simplest type of weaving to start with to see how you like it is tablet weaving. It was used (I believe by the vikings) to make decorative bands, because it’s not practical for making wide swaths of cloth. But it’s easy to make some cards, tie to to the leg of something, and play around with patterns.
