Tablet Weaving | Why I love it, what I'm using it for & a few projects! | Heather and Hops Knitting

thank you for taking us down another fiber arts rabbit hole. Lovely tool and so professional for a new practice.

You have done a wonderful job on the restoration of your storage baskets. The weaving on your Inklette loom is fascinating! What an amazing piece of engineering. Thank you so much for introducing this technique to me. Sending healthy vibes ❤❤❤

[@PatlLawson]

Your band is lovely and elegant, the star of the show on the baskets, imho. I love that the greens aren’t the same, creating interest. My pandemic purchased languishing inkle loom awaits. You’ve inspired me with this sweet, seemingly easy pattern. Ta!

Weaving is something that will keep you occupied and challenged spiritually, physically and mentally for the rest of your life...and the tools are AMAZING, and you will use stash at an amazing pace. Of course, you might develop a cone yarns problem... 😂 Enjoy!!

Oooo I have been interested to try tablet weaving and so now to research getting all the things I need. Thank you for an interesting video. Nice to chill out with you and my coffee

[@chrissy24-7]

Beautiful makeovers of those baskets and I just love seeing all that you do

[@Jennast]

Thank you for sharing all your weaving projects Katt! I got into tablet weaving last spring too and got my inkle loom in June. I've only managed to make one finished project, I replaced the handles of an old tote bag, it turned out so nice. My second project, a belt, is on its way and this video definitely sparked my enthusiasm once again!

[@bigblackdogfiberarts]

Always a pleasure to see one of your videos pop up. Hoping your holidays are filled with health, joy and love! Grins

What great timing for me as a little shuttle arrived in the mail in the middle of this video! I obtained a secondhand inkle loom a couple months ago and just recently mustered up the drive to start looking up how to use it. I think I’m going to start a plain weave band later tonight!

I bought the larger one as it was on half price, I tried the other way, but I have a house full of cats, and I am looking after me Dad since his strokes early in the year. I would make a fabric bag lining for the baskets as that will help to keep them dust free inside, but make sure you can pull them out to wash, me Dad’s Gran had them and that’s what she did with hers when we visited her when I was a child, I remember helping her as it was all hand sewn she did not have a sewing machine. I made the covers and lining while she made the braiding she was very fast on the ink-loam and carding. 😹😹we were both finished by the end of the weekend visit. My parents would visit family down the road and me brother went with them, I stayed the weekend with Great-Gran. I use to love them visits, she always had a chocolate penguin biscuit treats for us. Can not get them here in Australia, the closets to them is what the Aussies call TimTams 😹😹😹instead of one wrapped up in coloured foil with a penguin on the front 😹😹it’s a whole packet of 12. Sigh that was 50 years ago 😿 Thanks for taking me down memory lane, now I know why I bought my ink-loam 😹😹😹could not remember why I’ve always wanted one😹😹it took your baskets to kick that memory to the top of the pile🤗🤗🤗🤗

Great job on your storage bins. My sister offered me her inkle braid loom and I turned it down but seeing your inklet braid I may change my mind. ❤

Audrey is a beautiful name for a cat. It reminds me of the movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's" from 1961, where the actress Audrey Hepburn plays the main character who owns a cat with no name. The movie is about having the courage to love and be loved, and about belonging somewhere. The final scene from the movie is uploaded here on KZbin, it's absolutely awesome ❤🐈🐾

[@deejcarter2003]

Your baskets turned out lovely.🥰 I understand having a vision and things going a bit awry. The accidental color combo of the belt adds a bit of contrast that really works.🎉

[@suzannejones5992]

I love my inklette loom. Tried it with cards but preferred it without. Good video, thank you.

[@jo-annefalconer6280]

I love this, have been curious about tablet weaving so that is cool. your furniture covers look great. thanks for sharing

[@kaoim5045]

damn, now i want such a loom so badly...great filming, thank you katt, for sharing and keeping up with us ;)

[@amayabronagh]

Love seeing more variety in your crafts lately 🤗💕

[@annh.8290]

This was lovely, the design of your belt, though simple is beautiful. I love your beast! Good health to you!

[@kattweaver]

Thank you so much!

[@katefisher7493]

Woah you’ve inspired me. I wanted to try this technique a few years ago, so much so that my son (13 at the time!) made me an inkle loom for xmas. It is beautiful but has until now only been used as a decorative piece in my craft space. Thank you for this video, it’s spurred me on to give it a go at last! ❤️

[@TartantazCreates]

I have both sizes of loom. So far I have not used cards yet. I have only set up the weaving with heddles every other thread and created the patterns using the colours of the warp and plain tabby. It is also quite fun to see the pattern emerge, even though it is just plain tabby weaving. I plan to make shoe laces on my inkle loom. I can either weave them flat or make tubular laces. I plan to try both ways though just to see the result. As usual I have just been so busy I have not had a chance to actually get started lol

[@jayday1463]

Good to see the finished band used as upholstery trim. Ive never seen anyone use it for this in tablet weaving videos, mainly for trim for reenactment costumes. I've made dozens of bands in different fibres. Those that I've made using pearl cotton would be perfect for this as it's not an acceptable fibre for reenactment (strict rules)! Now where's my hammer and tacks?

[@cosyposymakesthings]

it was so nice to catch up with you today! I am in awe of how beautiful your baskets turned out. wow, you are amazing, Katt! Thanks for sharing your weaving adventures!! How cool! 😍

[@kattweaver]

Oh thakn you so much! I am so excited to do some more, especially with some hand spun!

[@mikelafiddle]

A stunning weaving technique. I just made a frame loom with a picture frame and made 2 small weavings. This idea you have presented is so so exciting today!!!

[@ceej.knitss]

What beautiful weaving

[@cj_17]

extremely tempted to pick up a loom from ebay...i'll focus on my wips for now, but the prospect of making belts is very cool!! sending you, alex, and audrey love:)

[@wurzelliebe]

Hei Katt :) This craft looks very interesting, I want to try it too! You could combine it with knitting, for example to hide your steek stitches. I send you a hug

[@joywood8465]

Very nice job on this.

[@susanoxburgh8835]

Katt you have GOT to stop, I can't pick up another hobby 😅your weaving looks beautiful!
