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.

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.
