Left Handed Weaving

It was Little M's 7th Birthday in October and my mum bought her a a much loved new present. She loves to craft but I was struggling to teach a young left hander knitting and crochet with fast enough progression for her to find it interesting and rewarding...in steps the weaving loom...

A super quality item. I have a gripe with most children's craft kits in that they always deliver failure with poor or missing materials but this was first rate. Great instructions, lovely wool (if you are 7) and a sturdy loom with all the bits to put it together including the allen key. We set up quickly and off she went, both left and right.

I don't know why she wore crochet fingerless gloves but it all added to the charm of creating with her hands.The wooden guide dowels stopped her from pulling too hard on the end strings which she understood. She ended up with a tasseled square coaster not a banana shaped one.

A completed task in less than an hour, much satisfaction and joy all round. Well Done M, we can try the handbag next.

Thanks for looking at my left hander's achievements.
