How to reserve a loom
1. Check your email for the latest from Becky
- Becky will email Club members before each week of Club Days to let you know what projects are available and which looms they'll be on.
2. Sign into google calendar
3. Make sure you can see who has already signed up
- To see all sign-ups, make sure you have all the individual loom names selected on the left side of the calendar. A selected loom has its name highlighted
in color, with white text; a non-selected loom shows its name as a colored link with no highlighting. Click on the loom name to toggle its selection on and off.
Here in the first picture, all looms are selected; in the second, some are de-selected:
- It's easier to tell the calendars apart if you assign them each a different color.
Google should do this for you by default, but you may prefer to customize your color scheme.
- If you're only interested in one loom, you could uncheck the others, to make yours more visible.
(This is an especially good idea if your loom names have similar colors -- Google will _not_ prevent you from double-booking the same loom!)
4. Sign up for the loom you want to reserve
- Click on the link in the top left called "Create Event"
- In the "What" field, put the loom number of your chosen project, your name, and a couple of words to describe your project
(for example, you might enter "V01-Bev-Krokbragd" or "V04-Susan C.-Ms & Os")
- Select the date and the starting/stopping times (between 9:00a-5:00p, please)
- From the drop-down menu "Calendar" select the loom you want -- for instance, "Vävstuga loom 01"
- Be sure to SAVE your work before returning to the calendar
5. Troubleshooting
- If the individual
looms are not in your menu, Bev hasn't finished setting you up as a Club member yet -- let her know by calling (413) 238-5330 or
emailing bevbowman@hughes.net.
