Day 287: A friend contacted me a week ago to see if I had any woven bands she could use for a strap for a musical instrument. I asked for specifics (width, length, colours), and when she replied, I put together a photo with multiple options. She selected two from the lot, one of which was the last bit left from a card-woven rainbow, but we weren't sure it would be long enough to suit her purpose. As it turned out, it was just long enough. Now it just so happens that I'm in the middle of trying to tidy up old projects before starting a new one (Max, my Bergman floor loom, is empty!), but I wanted to make another rainbow band to replace the one I'd sent out. Since I didn't want to do another card-woven one, that meant getting a tediously boring piece of Baltic pickup off my largest inkle loom. Job done, I loaded the inkle with a rainbow. Because it's plain weave, it's going very quickly. Over there on the other side of the room, the 30+ feet of band intended to go around the borders of a handwoven tablecloth is almost ready to take off the Glimakra. That will leave two inkles, the Leksand band loom and my table loom to empty. Oh, and both rigid heddle looms, but those are both quick projects.
