What Is On Your Loom?

Here is a peek at what I have on 10 shaft Macomber: A Bateman Combination draft.

This is what is on the Baby Wolf: Bookmarks!

Oh, and more inkle loom Christmas ornaments.....

An Inkle of Bateman

Weaving is slow going this month. I am working on a two shaft and an eight shaft project. I really got interested in weaving pick-up on my inkle loom. Thanks to my friend Anita who let the "duh" moment enter my brain. She is a great teacher!

So this loom is beside my chair and I can weave while watching TV. 

Another project I have going is some yardage on eight shafts with some Bateman Combination Weave. I am using some Patons Metallic ribbon yarn for this. I have a red warp (cotton) with the pattern thread 63% nylon, 28% acrylic, and 9% wool. The tabby is the same as the warp.

  I should be able to get at least 4 yards of yardage woven. Excited to see how this looks off the loom. If you see my threading error, just look away! 

Another Awesome Picture from MO Conservation

Look at this study I did back on January 21,2012.  (you can find it in my past posts)

This was a photo taken by Noppadol Paothong for the Missouir Conservationist. I went on to weave a Bateman table runner.

Here is the latest issue of the Missouri Conservationist. I love it! I guess I am drawn to his colors and subject matter. I wonder if a summer and winter draft would do his work justice??? Something to think about on a cold and windy day.
