Just before Christnas I warped up my inkle loom following a tablet weaving diagram for a row of Christmas Trees - not really expecting to get it right... but I did!
I can't find the link at the moment but I'll add it to this page when I can.
Tonight I took out Hannah's braid - even though it still looks in perfect condition :-) Tomorrow she is going to be the first to properly try a removable braid. She chose her colours... red, white and blue. Unfortunately her hair is sooo long now that I have had to make her a 16 inch braid , even though she wants to have it near her ear rather than at the top of her head. It looks nice, lets see how easily it goes in her hair now.... xXx
I have had a little break from crafts - I've got a niggling little injury that keeps flaring up after any sort of crochet and I need to buy some cotton supplies for weaving (seems an expensive start up costto get a good supply of colours!). After asking the advice of others, I decided to practice using acrylic Dk yarn, which I have plenty of. I found a website Tablet Weaving Draft Designer which allows you to design your own tablet weaving patterns - I'll add the pictures of the draft when I am on the other laptop! I warped up the inkle loom and made a start on weaving It actually looks like the design I made! Sara ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Finally I have completed my mochila bag... actually finished Sunday, but then I had to make a cord. Fortunately, I bought a set of kumhimo disks for the girls at the beginning of lockdown. Instructions said you should cut lengths of thread 3 x the length of the finshed cordyou want.... 1 wanted around 80cm, so used 240cm of each thread - and I have loads left over 😁... and the cord is longer than I planned (I may end up undoing a little to make the cord shorter... but we'll see! Ta da... Sara ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
