Pin Loom Weaving to Go: 30 Projects for Portable Weaving

The instructions in this book are clear, but elementary. There's very little explanation of how to use varied yarns or fibers and little about varying weaving patterns or other shape looms. Some of that is covered in Ms. Stump's other book Pin Loom Weaving. I just wish it had been covered in this one. The projects lean strongly towards the scrappy 'loving hands at home" and folk craft look, with critters, flowers, bags, pillows, afghans, some rectangle scarves and shawls, etc. The interesting cover project, unfortunately, was sewn together crookedly. The rectangular front pouch pocket is glaringly sewn on off grain. I would not have made it a "cover project" without correcting that error. The Marilyn Wing Bag in contrast, is quite polished and well made. So, all in all, it's a mixed bag. [sorry for the bad pun]

I am not a huge fan of the projects, however, they do provide good information on a variety of joins and construction techniques that would be helpful when designing your own projects. The backpack (on the cover) will teach the reader how to create 2 dimensionally. There are chapters dedicated to 2" looms, a knitting loom and potholder loom. All weaving is plain weave, no twills or patterns.

Pin looming is a versatile, traditional skill that allows for the use of scrap yarns and other fibres to make beautiful, new, useful objects. This is a great, contemporary take on a now-uncommon art with projects that reflect today's fashions. The instructions are clear, the diagrammes uncluttered, the pictures are rich with detail, and the designs themselves are quite efficient in material and time. Excellent resource for those just beginning to pin loom or who simply want a new set of projects to inspire their current practice.

I'm a complete beginner at this and found this book very helpful. When I decided I wanted to learn pin looming, I was just thinking it would make scarves and bags. There's instructions in here for bracelets as well as very cute leaves and flowers. There's many projects I wouldn't make, like mug hugs and many of the wall hangings I didn't care for but overall I'm glad I purchased this book.

Wonderful new pin weaving book! The book is great for beginners with well written instructions and has interesting ideas for those that are more familiar with pin weaving. I am intrigued by the inclusion of bias weaving and weaving triangles on a 4 inch loom. There are instructions for things with both practical uses and instructions for knick-knacks. The book is user friendly with good pictures and illustrations and highlighted tips and variations. I can't wait to start weaving!

I try not to leave gushing five star reviews, I tend to trust the four star ones more. However the only complaint I have about this book is that it is a very awkward size and I look forward to the kindle version.Ok, here are the things I like about it: versatility. Pin looms have a lot of possibilities, and for instance showing how to bias weave on a zoom loom makes it twice as useful, even more when triangles are added. I always assumed there was a way to weave continuous on a pot holder loom without crocheting, and here are instructions for it.And using the adjustable sock loom to make woven cuffs, not to mention that it Vann serve as a 2x4 and 2x6 loom is brilliant. I've tried to make woven cuffs, pre warped with one of my other pin looms, and this method is cleaner, and covers different wrist sizes (I have six inch wrists and everything I made was way too big.)Accessibility: It's easy for someone who doesnt want to invest a lot of money to try things out - a plastic potholder loom is readily available and quite inexpensive.This is a very versatile all inclusive book and I recommend it. Beginners might want to take the author"s advice and watch YouTube tutorials to supplement basic instructions, sometimes just need the moving pictures. Look forward to the kindle our other electronic version of this because that is easy more portable, and when you literally craft on the nyc subway, portable is important.

These projects are for beginners. For those interested in more complex projects, although I haven't read it, I recommend noreen crone findlay's book.

Great projects with detailed directions. Book is made with Quality paper. Have recommended this book to many pin loom enthusiasts

I bought this book to go with the Zoom Loom that I purchased. Its full of really good ideas, which in turn, triggers off loads of ideas for new projects of my own. A nice, easy book to follow. Some of the items were not really for me, but, as I said, they did give me other ideas. A very adaptable subject.

Cannot wait to get started

Tolle Ideen zum Nacharbeiten, leider nicht in Deutsch, aber bei etwas Übung kein Problem

i have found this book very informative and well laid out easy to understand
