I've had a major distraction since last Friday.
My new BFF, Kurt aka loominaria, had a Cricket rigid heddle loom in need of a new home. He contacted me because we're in the same town. When I get to his place he gives me a box with the Cricket with all the heddles, a bag of cotton yarns in assorted colors, and a few books.
Now you're thinking I am going be distracted by the Cricket? Noooooo!
There is a book on tapestry weaving (cool!) and two books on finger weaving/handweaving (awsome!).
So I've been spending all my free time reading about fingerweaving and trying it out.

Basic Book of Fingerweaving by Esther Warner Dendel and A Manual of Fingerweaving by Robert Austin show a craft that is best described as weaving without a loom.
Here is another strap in progress. If these colors look familiar to you, I am using cotton yarn from my scrap bag which has bits and pieces from recently woven pieces.
I like fingerweaving!
If anyone has more info on this fingerweaving craft, please let me know!
Have a good day!
