Christina Garton first fell in love with weaving after taking a class at a local fine art museum. Now, as the editor of Easy Weaving with Little Looms, she’s worked to create a publication that both nurtures newer weavers and challenges more experienced weavers. Christina enjoys weaving on all loom types, from homemade cardboard looms to her 8-shaft floor loom and all the other little looms in between.

Like many people around the world, I’m choosing to practice social distancing. While I’m stuck at home, I’m going to use my newfound free time to take on a few of my “someday” weaving projects.
