Just cut this off the loom, its a bunch of short pieces, 1 for my apron dress, one for Casey's apron dress, and a few for who knows what. Some experiementation, trying to get over my modern astetics. The bottom 2 are not symetrical, and it a bunch of cool rambling stuff. Apparently if you are reading this the internet likes me tonight.

Well I have been spending part of my daytime learning the ins and outs of my new Murphy Loom, while looking longingly at my Warp-Weighted Loom, and my night card weaving on my modified inkle loom. Thought I'd post pictures.

Back in August when Lane cut my 2 yards of Helga's leg wraps off my off my loom, I didn't cry. I didn't beat him, I didn't even yell.

Khalja and I went to look at a floor loom with me today. She declares it beautiful and in good shape. I see fabric in my future! My warp-weighted loom is going to be warped up with wicklebanders to start with pretty soon. And my inkle is busy busy with wire brocaded stuff, and trim for Their Majesties step-down. I did a bunch of extra stuff to ( Read more... )
