Yes, my inkle loom is just great. I wanted a 2 sided one for the sturdiness, and it is super. We loosely based the design for ours on a pic in Helene Bress's fabulous book: Inkle Weaving. If you don't have this book, BUY IT!!!! It rocks. I'll take pics of my inkle and post it to my blog (after Christmas) so you can see how we did it. I have woven thousands of miles of band on it, and it just gets lovelier with use. Hi Kris

Along with being interested in the Cricket loom, I'm intrigued by your inkle. Looks like your hubby built a fine inkle. Did he use plans or a model? I'm thinking of making one myself. Thanks for sharing. Love your photos. Along with being interested in the Cricket loom, I’m intrigued by your inkle. Looks like your hubby built a fine inkle. Did he use plans or a model?

I have always wanted to learn to weave. You are inspiring me to try. Perhaps I should look into getting a Cricket. (I have a cat by that name; she would like it). Great posting. These are beautiful.

I wove the word, 'Keeper' on the back of the collar of the vest that I wove my son in law for his wedding to our daughter. :o) I wove the words to Dame Julian of Norwich's prayer (and all shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well) into the woven doll that I made as an hommage to Dame Julian.
