I'm learning to weave using tablets to use them on the inside of knitted sweaters along the button band as support for the buttons. Thank you for doing your videos. Hubby and I have so enjoyed watching and I've learned so much!
Now that I watched this video, I want to make an inkle loom and weave belts and dog leashes and lanyards and guitar straps and edgings....... Thanks for all the ideas!
You inspired me with your video on absolute beginners - I bought a loom, made some tablets and created my first ever wee strip of tablet woven braid yesterday! It’s pretty crap, mainly because I used some rather grabby wool I had for knitting/crochet, but your teaching was so clear and made it all so simple. Many many thanks to you for your videos, and for giving me further ideas now!
I am SO glad I found this channel. I bought an inkle loom almost a year ago. I think I warped it once. Now I've got warping yarn on order, and already have plans to wile away the winter!
Your instructions are wonderful, and I decided to watch this video just for fun. I thought you might be interested to know that I've found tablet weaving to be an excellent way to put the thrums from my loomed weaving to good use. I do a lot of my weaving with 8/2 cotton and keep a "thrum bag" in my crafts closet. When I have enough colours saved up, I hang tablet warp on my rigid heddle loom (it has a floor stand) and off I go! Like my grandmother used to say, "Waste not, want not."
I just made my 15€ inkle loom today and started to weave with your osenberg revisited and I'm hooked now. Guess whose family will get a looot of tablet woven bands for christmas... :D
Lovely ideas. I enjoy the small bits of humor you incorporate. I was wondering if there is a website with tablet weaving patterns and info that you recommend.
This video is several years old, and I do not know if you will see my comment. Many years ago, at a craft festival, a woman was selling woven wristwatch bands. They were woven with very fine thread, and very, very beautiful.
I just discovered your channel a few days ago by accident and I must say I was drawn in instantly! I am an ADD Crafter meaning I always have so many projects going at once and almost every new craft I see I want to try! This makes for a crazy amount of craft supplies and an organization nightmare LOL. So far my husband has not divorced me over it 😉. I love it when you get to the point in the video where you are ready to end and you just grab scissors and snip across all those threads... SO SATISFYING 💞.
I don't know how interested I really am in table weaving, or if I'll ever try it,, but your explanation of doing the same with your quilts - shove it in a box and put it in the closet - had me laughing so hard I may have to become a subscriber!
Oh, great ideas...I like to wear my scissors around my neck when I’m doing crafty things that require frequent use of them...so I can find them in a hurry. Much classier than an i-cord.
I have a dream of making beautiful tie-down straps, which I use a lot for backpacking and other outdoor activities, I think it would be cool to make ones to recognize specific hikes and label them with the year
Ooh, I’ve been wracking my brain, trying to think what to give my friend who works in a med clinic for Christmas. She’s getting a name tag lanyard. Thanks for the idea!
Dear Elewys.Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. You are a great artist and teacher . And I really appreciate your sense of humour. All the best, Carmen.
I'm making my own loom this weekend so I can make some stylish reins for my horse! Thank you so much for the in depth tutorials you have on your channel and the endless inspiration you give
I've done a little bit of tablet weaving a few years ago, but I couldn't get the hang of it, so I gave up. Your videos make me want to give it an other chance 🙂 Apart from that, you come across like the most sweet and patient and loving person ever. I really like the energy you radiate ❤️
I love how you are so upfront about how you mess up sometimes! It's nice to know that experienced creators still make mistakes and need to cover them up
I was introduced to tablet/card weaving by JillianEve. She brought it up during her vlogmas and is planning on a video in the new year. I found this by researching so I can follow along and I have to say, you are a bad influence 😁 cuz my imagination is endless.
I have a lot of reasons to start tablet weaving. I need a new dog leash and to make then colors perfect for my dogs makes it a priority! I can add them to my containers where I keep my card making supplies in. I'm off to Amazon, thanks again!!!
If you ever get sick of weaving you could go into comedy. I have just started with the inkle. I planned to do tablets but decided to start with heddles. After 6 tries to get the warp in the pattern I wanted ( in my head) I finally started. Did a few inches and then a thread came undone. I couldn't get it to go back right so undid it all to start again. Finally got it going and have done about 12 inches but the first 10 inches are terrible . However I have learned quite a bit from my mistakes. I was not firm enough the beating the weft down for a start. Also the edges are uneven in tension but I can keep them straight. So I will work this to the end and then try another pattern. I will keep this one with all its flaws to compare with future work to see how I might have improved... Hope springs eternal.
I came across your videos by chance, I must say you are an absolute delight, thank you for such an enjoyable introduction to tablet weaving, this video is the second one I have watched
Ok, you’ve got me convinced! I will be purchasing a loom as soon as my craft budget allows and will be following your lovely tutorials! You make this craft so approachable :) thank you!
I'm so glad to find your channel, Elewys, I've had an itch for weaving since college when I had access to a weaving studio but haven't had room for a loom since. Crocheting helped to fill the void but finding that I can do woven bands without a big loom or outlay is great. Thank you!
Very nice! Thanks for the ideas. I use an inkle loom from time to time and my husband always says "what are you going to do with that one?" Well, now I've got some solid answers for him
Thank you so much for this video! I was one of those viewers asking for ideas. 😄 Your imagination for ideas for weaving is much better than mine. But you have sparked my imagination now too.
So much fun how you can use them. I am doing the Birka 6 pattern, but it's my first go so it's a little impressive and tragic at the same time. Lots of mistakes. I appreciate your videos, they helped so much with understanding how it all works.
I like the idea of the key fob - lanyard and also a dog leash and bag strap. Another thing, a friend of mine who weaves kitchen towels put a small one at the inside of the towel to hang the towel.
I have a friend who'd die for a black and red choker. And there has to be a jewelry piece available to pinch the ends secure and latch them together for that purpose or for a bracelet.
Elewys, thank you! So many of these are ideas that might be in my head, but not seeing how they look, I begin to doubt myself. I AM weaving along with you, thank you! I have been interested in tablet weaving for a long time, but I'm specifically interested in earlier historically-based weaving patterns, so your channel has been wonderful, and I'm enjoying the website. Whenever you share documentation sources, I get all excited... :)
I'm currently crocheting my first ever mochilla bag and I'm adding a tablet woven strap (first full project i can remember doing) and a kumihimo drawstring... learning so many new techniques...thanks so much for the clear videos
Curses! The dreaded ebay has inkle looms made relatively locally to me. Now to explain a new craft neeeeeeeeds to husband who looks with dismay at the fabric in the sewing room. I may also have perked up a friend's ears with talks of dog leads after explaining what an inkle loom is. Well if I go down, I'm taking another with me! Thank you for the ideas, the humour and the tutorials.
Loved this video! 💕 Thanks for putting this together. Yup, gift ideas coming together... key fobs, camera straps, lanyard for the college kiddo!!! Awesome sauce!
I'm picking up my new Inkle loom from the PO today. Cant wait to warp it up and start weaving (going to see if it's easier to weave the dragon heads on this). It's going to much more portable and easier to weave bands on this (rather than warping it up on my large Rigid Heddle).
I've only just gotten into tablet weaving and I've been thinking of ways to show off the craft outside of reenactment, I feel like making a lanyard is a perfect idea, especially since I need one for my key card and student card at uni
These are such good ideas. One thing that's held me back from trying tablet weaving is not knowing what to do with the finished product 😅 But no longer! Thanks for making this
Thanks so much for your videos. I love your sense of humor. I do all sorts of fiber crafts, and have held out on getting a loom, but I think I will be succumbing soon .. all because of you! I can't wait to get or make my own inkle loom and start weaving ... love the tablet weaving, and regular inkle weaving ... mmm thanks again. your videos are very enjoyable.
I would like to make it to cover the hem of my knitted jumper, which I love, because it is getting old and worn. It would give it a new lease of life. Thank you for all these great ideas.
I like you! I have a couple weavings I’ve done and honestly I just like looking at them all wrapped up lol I do use them at Christmas! But I like a lot of these ideas. Thank you for sharing!
I love 💗 your sense of humour! Love watching your videos. I was wondering if I could work tablet weave on a backstrap loom? Another idea is towels and pillow cases and sheets
You are so funny. And i love all your work. It’s bin a while ago and when I discovered you i whipped out my inkel loom . Thanks for de videos that you make, it’s really a good inspiration. And your history lessons are interesting 🧐.
I'm learning to tablet weave so that I can make bag straps. I came across some pictures of American mountain man/long hunter haversacks that have woven straps with a short leather section with buckle for adjustability, and immediately wanted to make something like that. So far I've made a couple of very chunky bands using 3mm macrame cord (its what I had available). I'm quite enjoying it, once I get my 'loom' setup sorted properly I'm going to try with more traditional yarns- like your friend Steve, I immediately thought it would make a great pair of suspenders (though we call them braces here in the UK). Do get Steve to post a picture, I'd like to see how they turned out.
@@elewysoffinchingefeld3066 I dated an American woman for three years- I quickly got sick of British people saying "You know they say pants instead of trousers." or "They call scones 'biscuits'". Especially the scones/biscuits thing, because having had both I can tell you they are not the same at all!
Oh, I know. I had the very good luck to visit the UK when I was in high school with a friend of mine who had relatives there. I also love the British Baking Show (Bake Off--still don't understand why they had to change the name in the US...). It seems to me that biscuits and cookies are still different--biscuits are supposed to snap? Cookies don't have to snap; they can be soft or chewy or snappy. But there are lots of words like that--muffins, jumpers (that's a different garment here, too), and the meaning of the word "fanny". But I digress...
@@elewysoffinchingefeld3066 They had to change the name in the US because a certain baking company known for their canned biscuits and crescent rolls already had the phrase "bake off" copyrighted in the US.
So very enjoyable to watch and so many creative ideas pop in my mind. I do have a favorite diy craft of rug making. Maybe on an upcoming video the combined tablet weave plus a fabric or mixed media to create an accent rug. I think those rugs could be of strong quality and added beautiful colors and patterns. Thank you Lynn
I'm looking to get into tablet weaving! If I manage to produce some decent-looking stuff, it's going to be going on my saddle pads as decoration. And my horse's breastcollar. And let's be real, probably his halter too.
I don't do tablet weaving but I found a loom that you tie to doorknob and waist with (apparently) a beginner pattern started on it. I imagine sewing one around my bag or to a rucksack so that it creates loops to which I can tie smaller items with other belts. I also see a denim jacket or and shirts decorated with wide and narrow belts giving an artsy 3-D look. My loom is from Finland: many of their national costumes use them tied around the head, mostly to show that the woman is unmarried but in some married women also wear them. (Different regions have their own costumes and now there's one created for ex-pats)
Hand woven bands are used in Norwegian traditional costumes and in the Sami culture. For the hair, holding the stockings up, as decorations and more. They are quite expensive. We also use bands as decorations on some traditional knitted sweaters. But the bands are usually machine made, handmade are to expensive.
Thanks, Elewys! I already play guitar, sew historical outfits, make leather bags and other things from leather, garden, and collect and play strategic board games. Now I need to start tablet weaving! Maybe I should just quit my job?
Haha I got a kick out of your intro. I love the look of the pieces sewn onto clothing. I was especially excited about the silk woven piece. I’d love to see you make one of those in a video!
I gotta add some I thought of while watching this (kinda just variations on the ideas in the video, but hey it may help someone): - choker - a fancy friendship bracelet - camera strap - dog or cat collar - strap for your reading glasses P.S. As a beginner my aim is to one day create a saree border ❤ (I know that they are not usually made by tablet weaving, but I think it can look amazing)
"At least this takes less space." 😁
Steve, send the picture. We all want to see it!
I'm learning to weave using tablets to use them on the inside of knitted sweaters along the button band as support for the buttons. Thank you for doing your videos. Hubby and I have so enjoyed watching and I've learned so much!

I'm stealing that idea. Doing them in linen or cotton and waxing after the straps are woven but before hardware and voilà, Water proof woven straps!
Ooh, I’ve been wracking my brain, trying to think what to give my friend who works in a med clinic for Christmas. She’s getting a name tag lanyard. Thanks for the idea!
I love your dry humor. :-) I just ordered my first inkle loom. It's en route. I'm thinking of using some bands to embellish the zipper pouches I sew.
I just found your channel yesterday and you've inspired me to start tablet weaving! I love your videos!
Me too. I looked up the looms today.

Lots of ideas. I'm planning some bags while I learn to sew, could definitely include some straps while I learn to weave!
Ok, you’ve got me convinced! I will be purchasing a loom as soon as my craft budget allows and will be following your lovely tutorials! You make this craft so approachable :) thank you!
Thank you for answering my Q and putting it in a vlog. :)
