I would just like to thank everyone for your kind words and thoughts on my last post. The finger is slowly recovering, the graft is taking nicely and I today I finally feel like I have a hold on the pain.
Having one arm out of action makes it hard to do most things (thankfully, I have the best mum around so things on the home front have been pretty good), but crafting however has been non-existent.
Patchwork, quilting, crocheting and knitting all require the use of two functioning (pain free) hands and the thought of zero productivity for the next few weeks was pretty disheartening.
Enter the loom, my sanity saviour.
Thanks to Kirst, I am now in possession of the prettiest little loom in town.
So excited with all the weaving possibilities and it can all be done with one hand!

Oh Kate, I'm so glad that you found something crafty you can do! And yes, that loom is very pretty!
I hope you feel better soon. Quite a gnarly accident! And who knew looms came in cute bunny pink?!
go you for thinking up something else crafty you can do with only one hand
Where there's a crafter there's a way … great idea.

Sensational pics!
Weave it up Barbie…I can't wait to see your work. xxx
So glad to hear you are starting to feel a little better. Love to see more of your weaving!
I hope you heal quickly..But in the meantime that loom rocks :)
Perfect!!
(And perfectly pink!!!)
Enjoy!

PS Let me know if you need any help over the coming weeks. I'm around!!
Hooray! Kirsty to the rescue! So glad you found a one arm craft. I was going to suggest macrame using your big toe to hold the loop but this is much more fashionable ;)
I bet Maddie loves it too!
Glad to see you've found something to kept you creative juices flowing while you heal. All the best.
Glad to hear the pain is lessening, I hope it keeps healing well and quickly. Can't wait to see you weave up a storm! xo
We had one of those accidents at my local quilt shop. Shop assistant doing too much talking not enough watching what she was doing. Only 5 stitches though. Here is to everything healing well and soon so you can get on with more stitching.
wow – any mention of 'loom' and i am instantly transported to The Good Life and the episode about the loom and wool on fences!
Thanks for making me giggle, this loom is very pink and looks a lot more productive than John's…
That DOES look cool. And thank goodness for your mum.
That loom looks like fun! I am going to have to check it out (not that I need any more crafty projects!).
Can't wait to see what you make :-)
oh wow – what a pretty loom it is – so glad that you can do some craft! hope you feel better soon!
fantastic, finding one handed crafty goodness. hope the poor almost amputee finger is healing well
Oh good, so glad to hear it's taking well and pain is getting there. It can only get better from here (unless you're naughty!). Take care and enjoy the weaving!
Missed you this morning – the girls tried on their pink Angelina Ballerina tutus!! Glad you mum is around and love that you have something fun to do – looks lovely!
A one-handed craft! Good for you!
So sorry about your accident- scary!
Do you have any info on where to find the fun little loom?
this is a cute one ! the pink color is eye-candy !
i'm curious to see what you make :)
get well wishes to your finger
Hope your hand gets better soon, women do heal fairly quickly, they have to! I wait to see what you make.
Weaving, how cool! I spent 6 weeks with a plastered broken wrist a couple of years back – over the crafty Christmas period (I was pregnant, what's more – not fun!) anyway, I can vouch for gocco-ing being another craft you can do one-armed! I did a bunch of bookplates and notecards that year for gifts. Heal well :)
mwha so glad you are able to craft & have a lovely mum xx
Do you know where she got the loom? It is exactly what I've been looking for!
Oh my goodness, I have been looking for a loom and this one just screams me! Could you let me know the name/brand, or perhaps where Kirst got it from?? Thanks so much!
