Countless hours later, I'm much more familiar with my loom and the whole process. Yay! This is my first backstrap project as well as my first weaving project, not including a few things made on a little toy lap loom.
This bag is for my 4-year-old daughter, who likes pink, stripes, and all things fringe. ;)
I learned several things aside from the general how-to-weave, such as watching for dropped warps, how to tie a good continuous string heddle, how something made from two types of yarn will shrink unevenly, hehe, that I need to make sure the warps are nice and tight when I begin weaving, and how NOT to create a third selvage.
This is noticeable as a beginner piece from a mile away, but it makes me so happy! On to completing my backstrap. :) Thanks for looking.
Here it is, in progress - like my cardboard shuttle and broken paint stick beater? haha - whatever works, right? By the way, I'm a film junkie, so my loom is tied up to my gigantic TV armoire. :)
