i couldn't figure out why the tension on the rigid heddle was so bad, nor why it seemed worse every time i pick it up.
i think i've cracked the case.
anyhow, my next big-loom project was going to be tea towels, but now i think it's going to be a cat hammock.

ok this is where I admit that Donnie and Mikey are my personal fave.
Also, the background it’s so lazy it’s almost disgusting
no background under the cut :)

if you like crafting and also free things, might i suggest the antique pattern library?
it’s a not for profit that’s gathering books, patterns, and other materials related to crafting that are out of copyright (or getting permission from copyright holders in some cases) in order to share them online. they scan items, clean them up, then make everything available for free!
free things are great, especially when you’re just starting to get into something. like oh, i’m supposed to spend money on this hobby i just picked up 20 minutes ago???
the first time i ended up on the site, i seriously spent hours just trawling through everything. there’s the usual suspects like knitting, crochet, embroidery, but there’s also woodwork, calligraphy, and books on things like how to mount and frame pictures. with cross stitch patterns, they also make modern charts with the dmc colour codes available.
links to their webbed site and instagram:

behold, a glorious cat cross stitch pattern (link goes to antique pattern library page):
