I was able to buy a secondhand loom for 25 Euro.
But I still have to learn a lot.

I started by making a frame loom from an old stretcher frame.  I looked up on you tube how to do it.  I want to practice on this inexpensive loom with my scrap yarn and then move up to a rigid heddle.  I talked to Christine at GIST: Yarn and Fiber who was very helpful in giving me tips on how to chose my first loom.  They are in the USA.  I was also looking for a weavers forum to talk to other beginners to share experiences.

there are some great facebook pages for weaving based on the type of loom you have or want.  They have great advice and are an excellent resources.  Trying joining a few.
Here is a pic of my very first weaving project.  I bought my self a Beka 24" rigid heddle loom and joined a few Rigid Heddle Loom FB pages and learnt a lot of things before I started.

Thanks Katharina.  I did the calculations today.  It cost $12.00 USD to make.  It is 14 inches wide and 85 inches long including the fringes.  I will be sending it to my niece who knits toques (beanies) for the homeless.

Here is my latest weaving project.  Our grandson loves Elmo so I made him three Elmo placemats and a couple of cloths for his kitchen.
