I’ve made a career out of creating recipes thanks to that blog and have written several cookbooks.
Blogging might not be as popular as it once was but I can’t seem to stop myself from wanting to start one.
So of course I’m documenting my journey into weaving. I started freeform frame loom weaving in January 2021 after reading this in the Strategist and made a ton of wall hangings. I have some for sale in my Etsy shop, Rya Knot. Then in June 2021 I purchased a Kromski Harpe Forte Rigid Heddle Loom and started this blog.
