Day 42: I am at the point where several projects are all going to finish up within a few days of each other, which means that my mind is racing. I am so taken with the 10/2 cotton on Inky-Dinky Inkle (as opposed to the 8/2 I usually use) that I really want to use it to weave krokbragd sheep on Nelda (my Glimakra band loom) when I'm done with the last two feet of tablecloth trim (30' worth!), but I'm waiting for a cone of thread to arrive. I think I will use 10/2 on a ground of 16/2 for Jutta (my Leksand band loom, made by Ed Stevens), which is the same combination as what you see mounted on her here. I intend to make a wider band this time, perhaps with 13 pattern threads (there are 7 in the current band, forming the green diamonds in the middle section). Nelda's tablecloth trim (not shown) is 11 pattern threads, which allows for much more detailed designs. Planning, planning! I'm always thinking at least one project ahead per loom, and usually more than I'll ever have time to weave.
