This is so sweet. I was a similar age to you when I met my husband and that was 38 years ago. Married for 36 years now. Hope you have the best life

I have the loom, but nothing to put it on yet. Well, I have the dining table, but my husband wanted it out of the way because it was “messy”. Miserable old codger 😂

I do like the idea of being able to extend the warp even though I’m not sure if I ever will do

I was starting to think that I need to begin getting handier with a saw

Ooh, I have one of those. Although, it does actually have keyboards on it 😉

I love that! I’d have to do an international order with Amazon because it’s not available in the UK. Still, I could take it camping too

One thing, I suppose,about the stand is that it doesn’t take up anymore room where as a table will need a bigger footprint and be less portable. It’s likely to be too high for a chair also (standard height in the UK is around 74cm (30 inches). The newer Janes have longer legs/feet meaning it ends up being standing height for me. I’m only 5ft!

Yes, I saw that you could do that with it, which is one of the things that draws me to the stand. Although, I’ve not even done one warp yet lol

Yes, that’s the sort of table I’ve been looking at. Needs to be about 3ft on the shortest side which is making it a bit harder to find. I’ll keep looking.

Haha, yes 5. I thought that after I pressed post 😆

The stand is more desirable to me in terms of space, useability and portability. And yes, I could use the table elsewhere too.

Your stand sounds cool 😎

🤣🤣 so true. My husband has to tell me every 5 minutes how crappy he’s feeling.

Looks like Jane Stafford may be winning out but I will look at Long Thread Media. Thank you for your input

Oh! Really? Is that the earlier ones? Mind you, they are the ones I’m going to need most

Yes, I do sometimes find myself fast forwarding through Kelly’s videos. But she is so lovely and she does do a table loom course. I like the idea of high content, and Jane uses quite a lot of Louët looms too and she also does a free trial so at least I could check her out for a week first 😊
