I am in love with these looms!
Last weekend, I made a video tutorial, showing how to weave a triangle of any size on the Martha Stewart Loom:
You don’t need it for this bag, but it’s VERY handy for other designs! 🙂
And, happily, I have more designs for these great little looms in the works!
🙂
Happy Weaving!

Thank you so much, Aleksa! Yes, I love those colors together, and the yarn is great! It’s hemp/cotton…. which just keeps getting better as you use it. 🙂

My daughter gave me the Martha Stewart knit & weave loom kit for Christmas (a day early). I looked on the Lion Brand website for a pattern and chose this messenger bag pattern as my first project. Then while I was watching various videos about using the loom, I found your videos, followed the link to your blog, and found that you had designed the bag. 🙂 I did not have the hemp/cotton yarn so I am making it with Bernat handicrafter cotton yarn in Hosta (green) and White Rose. I have finished the first three rectangles and am starting the base. I can already tell that I am going to love this bag when it is finished. Thank you!

Hi Anna
I love the bag, and hope that you will enjoy yours 🙂
I am going to make myself one of them, too – I didn’t get to keep the bag, as it went off to live at Lion Brand.
I have posted more videos on how to work with the Martha Stewart loom- the links are here on my blog.
Happy Weaving!!! 🙂

With just one pocket, the strap and tab pieces left to weave, I am not sure if I have enough of the main color to make the strap. I decided to assemble the bag up to that point and then see how much of that yarn is left. If I don’t have enough then I will just add a tab on the second side and make the strap with the colors reversed.
I am going to add pockets to the fabric lining to hold the smaller components of the Martha Stewart Knit & Weave kit as the larger pieces and a project should fit well in this bag. :-).
