"From all I had read and watched, it seemed that dressing the loom was going to be an intense, laborious undertaking, full of frustration and tears. It turns out, taking it one step at a time, it’s not really laborious at all. It is a lot of work, but really, when you’re done, you’re also about half done with your project."
