First Paracord Braid

I love my 6 ft. leather leash, but sometimes it's just too bulky for training. So I tried out braiding a 3 1/2 ft. leash and a pull tab in para cord. I am very pleased with it. The red sorta matches Moss's service dog vest. I posted this on a group page on Facebook and someone already offered to buy one. That gives me ideas....

Plugging Along

Still working on the tapestry rug. I'm over half-way there.  This section has taken as long as the whole rest of the rug. I'll be staying away from symmetric patterns in the future.

Inkle Band

I finally dusted off the old inkle loom and made a strap for my hand-knitted treat pouch for dog training. The instructions called for a clip to attach it to your belt. I don't wear belts and having it hanging from one clip made it bunch up so it was difficult to use. I had attached a cord which worked a lot better, but didn't look all that nice. So-time to do some inkle weaving. Much better. And I can wear it under my t-shirts as a pocket when my pants are pocketless!

Bobbin Along

I'm still working on the tapestry rug. It's not perfect. I'm not to experienced in it but thought this would be a good chance to learn some tricks.

I did figure out how to make my own bobbins. At $20 a pop, I thought it would be worth it to make my own. I came up with this with dowels and beads. I love em. It only takes me five minutes to make one. I'm not so good at making the non-slip loop though.

Feeling Loomy

Now that I'm out of the hospital and in my new digs, I have the room to set up my looms. My little Dorset loom had a really long warp on it of ugly nylon. I decided to take the warp off and put it on the bigger loom so I could make some rugs with it. I had unwoven some rag rugs that were coming apart and within a day I was ready to weave. I finished the two rugs in record time and decided to try a tapestry rug with what warp was left.
