It's been a while - inkle bookmarks

It has been a while (over 2 years) since I last posted. In part because I haven't had time to weave too much - although all most of my looms have warps on. The good news is that I'm scheduled to take early retirement in a year's time. Time to weave, at last!

Anyway in 2008 I did weave some inkle bookmarks for an internet exchange and since I rather like some of them I thought I'd share here.

Some pics of work in progress:


My favourite is based on a Peruvian tablet weaving pattern I think I saw on Linda Hendrickson's excellent website

There were 15 different pick-up patterns in the end:




In case anyone is interested, the loom is a rather nice floor inkle by Thomas Creations -
