Brief overview

I’m a weaver

This was clear to me the first day weaving!
After enjoying knitting for more than seven years, finding out what I like, meterial-, pattern-, and fabric-wise it kind of was obvious: not fully surprised I was falling in love with weaving first sight!
Loving every single step of the process!
