It's been a year since I last did some card weaving. I forgot a lot so I'm starting with a small band.

Here are some cotton bands I've woven recently. They're now off the loom and washed but I just have progress pics. No particular plans for these, they might make nice bag straps if I feel like sewing bags again at some point.

I'm very pleased with the designs of both of these, especially the green one. I'm really enjoying the possibilities and limitations of warp faced plain weave. #fiberarts #weaving #inkleloom #inkleweaving #bandweaving #bandloom #wovenbands #repweave

I’m weaving some shoelaces to send a friend. 10/2 mercerized cotton, 19 ends.

Weekend project - made myself an #inkle loom!

* Can i weave? Not yet.
* Am I a competent woodworker? God no, I'm comically bad at drilling holes.
* is it pretty? Definately not. Grubby mismatched wood, Pegs at all angles, wood chips everywhere.
* Could I win a fight at craft night? Maybe, its pretty solid.
* Does it work? Seems so!

For the added challenge/fun/impatience i decided i didn't want to buy anything for it; after all i mainly want to use up wool from old knitting projects. Parly inspired by some #spendingStike discussion but mostly I'm sick of leftover things taking up space! And we certainly don't need any more single project tools! (The tool library didn't have a 16mm drill bit listed sadly). Was mostly successfully but did buy more dowel.

Hasn't got a tension peg yet, but I've left a space for one. For now I'm just jamming stuff in there, I'll stick to short things.

I kind of love being a jack of all trades, you can halfarse things, and be genuinely happy with good-enough.

Weaving bands is something I come back to pretty regularly. Recently it's been in the context of loosely recreating ancient weaving practices like warp weighted weaving.

Here are some card woven bands I've made, I think arranged in the order I made them, with the earliest example on the left and most recent on the right.

I love how card weaving makes elaborate patterning possible while creating a dense and consistent band. It can also be used to weave bands with text, which is what I have on the band loom right now.

I use this process as part of setting up the warp weighted loom, and I also just find bands very useful to have around and fun to make into things or to wrap gifts with.

Also, I'm hoping that adding a caption to an image gives it that as alt-text? If not and someone wants to correct me on this I'd appreciate it, I'd like to be adding alt text to images properly

A bit of early morning weaving. Front and back pattern coming along nicely https://woollenwanderings.co.uk/blog/ #fibrearts #inkleloom #bandweaving @fibreart @weaving

Behold! My first ever attempt at weaving! I learned a lot, but mainly that acrylic yarn does not weave well. Chapstick for scale
