Work in Progress First weaving project ever. Definitely addicted!
Had no idea how fast this would work up! Was gifted a beautiful "heirloom" inkle loom and couldn't wait to start. Of course, I'm almost done and one of the pegs on my loom pops off so it currently being repaired 🤣 absolutely addicted!

Hey there! This is actually from the The Birds mochila crochet pattern by Priscilla Bradburn! It is a free pattern, too!

What a BEAUTIFUL band!!! If you don't already have Annie MacHale's book In Celebration of Plain Weave, I highly recommend it!

So darn pretty! Do you ever incorporate gems into your work? Or better question, what are you making? 😊

This is my first weave, so I havent even thought of that!
This is a strap for a crochet bag that I am making. The bag itself is called The Birds by Priscilla Bradburn, if you want to see it! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-birds-4

this is so cool! how wide are you able to weave with this?

u/Ornithophilia Apr 12 '26
You know, im not sure! This strap is 1.5" wide, and this loom could easily handle twice that plus some.

Unbelievable work - especially for a first project. Your edges and tension do not read “beginner”
