Looks great — tabby, plus a balanced weave! What are you making?

You can also find used multishaft table looms in those same places. When you have your loom, let's talk about learning how to use it, and what kind of fiber to buy. Happy hunting!

You can weave towels on rigid heddle looms, which you can often find on FB Marketplace or in Ravelry's Warped Weavers Marketplace. Make sure the loom is wide enough for the towels you might want to weave — some RHs are pretty narrow.

It could be better-writtten. Good luck with it!

Does it say in the instructions to add more water a little at a time if the dough doesn't come together with the initial 1/2 cup?

Shoutout to 9/8 — and curious about where that would have been used

Of course, tapestry weaving is another option. Simpler set-up, and easier on the arms throughout. Take a look at Rebecca Mezoff's videos But you wouldn't be weaving scarves/placemats/table linens

... and in others (sleying/threading) you just have to do it. During weaving, throwing a shuttle might be fine or it might bother you. Experiencing it all would give you a better sense of your personal possibilities.

A class would be so great for you, especially if it covers everything from winding a warp, and beaming it, to sleying/threading. There is repetitive arm and hand work in some of those processes; in some cases you can use different equipment (warping reel instead of board)...

Multi-shaft looms (can be table with levers, or floor with treadles) can be slower to set up and can result in more loom waste, but most structures woven on them are controlled by the levers/treadles so the weaving itself goes more quickly. Some weavers prefer one or the other; some enjoy both

The weaving experience is different. Broadly, RH looms can be warped more quickly and they're smaller so they result in less loom waste. There can be a lot more manual pick-up on the RH when you try to weave structures beyond plain weave, which strikes some weavers as meditative and others as poky.

If it's not in great shape, I'd be cautious about getting it as a beginner. Focus your energies on learning to weave rather than on trying to rescue an old loom. You can do that after you know more. If this one just popped up, there will be others.

What's the brand? Is there a warp on it? If it seems irresistible, try to weave a few picks on it before you buy to ensure all the parts are there, that it works, that it's not wobbly, and that it fits your body.

Some of them will feel great to you, and others won't. It's good to know that before you buy.

Have you done any weaving, or do you know how drafts work? If not, you might search out a class where you can learn the basics before buying. If you've already dipped a toe in, it's worth going to a weaving store or community weaving space where you can try out different types and sizes of looms.

Using sharp knife, trim edges. Cut into biscuits, carefully transfer to pan, bake. Also bake the trimmings as a cook's treat... Don't overmix dough to begin. The first fold will be messy; dough will come together on second. If it warms at any step, chill in fridge before continuing. 2/2

Try this: Gently pat rough dough into a rectangle that's 1/2" tall. Fold 1/3 from the bottom to the middle, and 1/3 from the top to the middle, like a letter. Turn dough 90 degrees, pat out again, and repeat folds. Turn, pat, fold once more. Turn and pat but don't fold. 1/2

The notes are mostly right-ish, and she keeps pace with the others, but she doesn't add phrasing nuances. Her bow control is reasonable. Her LH thumb position makes me twitch. This clip doesn't require much in the way of shifting. Her vibrato is iffy. Not a bad violinist, but not yet a good one.

Thank you — this entire piece is a great favorite of mine. Here are the performers: The Olive Mead Quartet in 1909: (l–r) Olive Mead, Lillian Littlehales, Gladys North and Vera Fonaroff. Photo: Tully Potter Collection. I wonder if they truly shared stands, or if a photographer was running amok
