There is nothing fiber-wise that I won’t jump into headfirst when it comes to trying. The inkle weaving loom is no exception.

I’ve noticed a few weavers posting about their inkle weaving and looms on Instagram lately, which made me sit up and take notice.

Before I ordered my inkle loom, I binge-watched YouTube videos on how to warp, weave, finish, and perform many other nifty tricks on an old form of weaving.

My loom arrived last Friday night, and I was able to do some warping and weaving on Saturday.

I still need more experience in getting a good, quality edging, but I’m okay with how things are going. It’s all about learning, right?

I also ordered The Weaver’s Inkle Pattern Directory, which arrived today, along with this wonderful little book, When Coyote Walked The Earth by Corrine Running.

I discovered this book of Pacific Northwest Indian folktales at my local library and decided it would be a great addition to read to my new granddaughter. Fortunately, I found a used hardcover copy on Amazon. I had no idea it would have the original book jacket, be in good condition, and be a first printing from the original copyright year, 1949.

I think this will be a book that we both treasure.

Off to weave a bit. Until next time…
