Learning how to weave

I was taken to the weaving room at CCAC I was captivated by the loom. There and then I said, I've just got to go out and get a loom and do it and so with the last $150 I had I went to this RN Studio and bought a loom. That's how I got started. Of course, this friend who had originally taken me to the weaving room said, "I'll show you how to weave." When we started I realized I needed lessons and so I went to the Berkeley Adult School where they had free classes and got the basics.
