If you are a new weaver, everything seems overwhelming when you start. There is so much weaving terminology, and the loom has so many moving parts, and compared to knitting or crocheting you have to do a lot of complicated setup before you can even start weaving.
So here is everything I wish I knew when I started weaving. It's quite long and a bit of a brain dump!
I've included a number of links to blog posts or youtube videos. I would recommend reading or watching more than once. The first time, a lot of things might not make sense, but as you practice, it will all start coming together.
The other thing, is that when starting, you WILL make lots of mistakes. I would treat your first few projects as "experiments" and not worry too much if there are all sorts of things wrong with them. :)
