They're so cool. I take it you're reading all the small house blogs then? Gypsy Rose is one I really like. The XS house seems a bit extreme in its tiny-ness, I think one of the slightly larger ones is probably wise.

I guess that plan is kind of at odds with my next question. I saw gipsieee's post where she mentioned weaving. I'm going to be moving soon (at least, I hope I will, assuming the house I'm buying finally goes to settlement) and I happen to have a large loom that hasn't been getting any attention for years. I don't know if I'm quite ready to part with it for good but would you guys be interested in taking on some larger, 4-shaft projects for 6 months or so? The only requirement, apart from treating it with care, would be responsibility for moving it at either end - I can help, but it's too heavy for me to move on my own. I'll post this over at gipsieee's lj too. Assuming I can figure out where I packed the heddle hook, it would come with that, a warping board, and a couple reeds.
