Meeting, June 20, 2024

Attendees: Peggy, Kay, Cindy, Elise, Vianne, Lynne, Constance

Show and Tell

Our theme this month was something with variegated yarn, everyone has something.

Elise had a boatload of things to show, including another hand-carved band heddle.

Peggy recommended software: Warp Visualizer and Inkle Visualizer

Also, there is information on them in the Knit Foundry group on Ravelry

Constance told about her new Spriggs Creations floor inkle and handcrafted warp weights.

Lynne presented her finished pebble weave band and 7 pattern thread Baltic inkle band.

Helping

We explored ways for Elise to thread her new inkle loom.

We discussed various looms for band weaving.

Challenge for July: make something useful with a band.

July Meeting Project

Carve a band heddle with Elise! Bring a slat of wood (NOT balsa; you can get them at Rockler) and a sharp pocketknife or chip carving knife.
