You could do french knitting with those. Kind of like finger knitting only with the pegs and the result goes through the middle. I used to make little ropes that went on and on and on and on and on...

I like this. Cute flowers! I haven't tried vintage equipment, but then again I don't own any vintage equipment.

I found some kelly green "straw yarn" at a vintage shop a while back. I have used it for crochetting but I think it's original purpose was for the flower looms.
Love what you have done so far!

Those flowers are so darn cute! I love them ... and they would look great on layouts and a bunch of other things, too!! And the thing that is even better ,,, is that you get to do it with your sister!! Awesome!

that reminds me of when my mum used to make loom flowers when I was little, maybe I'll search in the attic for it after this sudden inspiration?

Ooooh, pretty! I instantly pictured lots of those flowers on a straw bag -I used to have one when I was little and I loved it. But they were made of some kind of plastic yarn... And adult version would be so cool! :)

They are cute! I love the big orange one -- and I even don't like orange :D They are great because they can be used almost everywhere, right..? Wish you even more fun with that gizmo :)
