Test driving the new Cricket Rigid Heddle Loom-1

The new Cricket rigid heddle Loom from Schacht has arrived, and I am impressed.
It comes shipped flat in a smallish spiffy box that works as a project/tool box but won’t hold the loom once it’s assembled.
It needs to have 6 screws inserted to assemble it. That took only a few minutes.
The loom is solid and beautifully designed. It doesn’t fold like their Flip or the Ashford Knitter’s loom, but it’s compact enough to be truly portable. Popping it into a tote bag is not a problem.
I am going to be weaving a healing/prayer shawl in rainbow colors.
One of my beloved sisters-in-law is terribly sick, which has really thrown us for a loop.
I am going to get the Cricket warped up and weave her a shawl that is full of my love for her.
If you could spare a moment or two to send her some good healing energy, that would be most appreciated!
I’m off to warp the Cricket now, and will take pics to show my progress and to tell you more about working with the Cricket.
