While surfing I found mini or hand-held looms (see links below), which I find very interesting, because 1st I don’t have much place at home and 2nd I know that I don’t weave, I just try it once in a while ;-))
On the photo you see the front and back side of my little woven patch.
I would never actually buy a loom, therefore I made me one from – guess… – yes: cardboard! ;-)
On the photo you see me threading the loom in one direction.
Then I thread my cardboard loom in the other direction.
That’s the way my cardboard loom looks at the back side.
Now I’m weaving in one direction.
And here I’m weaving in the other direction.
After having finished with weaving I crochet an edging to neaten the edge.
The first photo shows back and front side of the finished little piece.

I absolutely love this! Thank you for all the info. You are so talented. I’m already spending a lot of fun filled time on your wonderful website. You’re so inspiring!
Arlette, what can I say but: I’m so glad that you like it :))
sooo cool! I’m an knitter and crocheter,but wanted to try my hand at weaving. I purchased 2 sets of the Martha Stewart knitting and weaving loom sets. If u ever do buy a loom, I’d suggest these.
Tonight I made a tiny loom from an old cardboard card. Think its the start of a small person….idk…lol…
Thanks for the great pics!
susan,
you’re welcome!
And I’d love to see one day what you did :)
Enjoy
