This is an original interlaced design that I created for my book, Three-Color Pickup for Inkle Weavers. I had fun with the pattern repeat on this guitar strap. I know that some guitar player will find it in my Etsy shop and give it a new job! https://www.etsy.com/listing/4584633206/guitar-strap-handwoven-in-an-original

I'm pretty excited about this latest piece which will be made into a guitar strap. It's pattern from my book, Three‐Color Pickup for Inkle Weavers. I reversed the outside colors for each pattern repeat.

Thanks to Jeff who gifted me this tiny inkle loom at the MichiganFiberFestival. It works! The maximum woven length is about 13". What should I make?

This week I received a lovely customer appreciation photo! Ziggy was super patient with me. It took me a year to deliver because I had some difficulty and resistance when trying a new style of lettering. Thanks to Anne Dixon for the inspiration.

Last weekend I attended the Michigan Fiber Festival and taught a workshop. I finally got to meet Joan Sheridan, who also taught an inkle workshop there. We have been following each other on social media for quite some time and it was great to finally meet her in person and nerd out about inkle weaving. She's the reason that I decided to go to the MFF and it was worth the travel time to hang out with her and her store crew!
Joan teaches a variety of weaving and knitting workshops, but she has a fondness for the inkle loom. I am impressed with her curious exploration and how she inspires inkle weavers with her classes and kits!
Check out the video in the comments to see the kits. I wasn't allowed to share it and my photo in one post.

Oh July 18th-19th, I will be a part of the ACC Open Studios along with 3 other artists at Fiber Arts on 4th in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. I'll also be teaching a beginning inkle workshop on that Saturday, so my daughters will be representing me and helping to showcase my work.
