I don’t think I’ve seen Sally Pointer yet. I used the free beginner course here www.solrhizaarts.com and some of the info here: www.spranglady.com

Information on finger weaving, fingerweaving, yarn belts, and sprang, instructional materials and a gallery of completed items

You can finish it by just threading some yarn through the middle and tying it. Or you can take a crochet hook and pull each thread through the next until you get to the edge when you need to put a thread to secure the last loop.

It really is fascinating, I had never heard of it till today!

First #sprang creation. A little pouch for my shed bars- once I work out what I’m going to use

I prefer pictures and text really, videos are either too slow or too fast- or usually both! I’ve already made my first mistake!

Yes, I’ve been spoiled learning lace- lots of very cheap old books

I looked at books but they’re all incredibly expensive

I’ve already made a loom 🤣 (spare tapestry frame- it’s perfect) and found some sticks (plastic knitting needles)…

literally; outside of actually classified narcotics like cocaine and mdma

There is absolutely no medication/drug which is treated anywhere near like this. And this is before we even get to the fact that it's only banned SPECIFICALLY for trans youth.

cis youth? can still get it.

Thank you, I’ll look her up! Sounds great.

That’s what I was going to say. 17 year olds look like babies- those of all genders. Even 20-25 year olds are disturbingly young.

The fact that we’re used to seeing young teens sexualised in adverts doesn’t make it any better, it’s just an expression of the dubious desires of powerful people.
