Day 32: I seem to be on a teal jag lately. Since I already had a cone of teal 8/2 cotton out to work closed blanket stitch around Merry's new bed, I decided to use it as the ground colour for an inkle band on my inky-dinky inkle. The Ashford Inklette is a tiny little thing, but it holds enough warp to make a band almost two yards long when it's fully loaded as it is here. It takes up about as much space in my lap as Merry does, and doesn't have to be set on the piano bench or a table like my full-sized inkle loom. That said, there are smaller ones out there, but for as fussy as Inky-Dinky is to warp, what with cracking knuckles on the pegs and all too often missing one out, I can't imagine that a smaller inkle loom would be practical (but some of 'em are awfully cute!). When my lap isn't needed by Small Cat (who misses the definition of "small" by a wide margin now), Inky-Dinky can take his place until he needs another mama-cuddle.
