I've been weaving on a vintage German "kircher" loom that came with a spinning wheel we'd bought at a yard sale while back. I'd not thought much of it at the time, they just handed me this old cardboard box with some sticks in it and said it went with the spinning wheel. Some folks call it a "sampler" loom, other folks have called it a "kids" loom, but it's great fun.
Soon as I can figure out how to make that yellow plastic part from stuff around the house, then a couple more of these little looms will be made. They are small enough to easily carry around and you can sit at a table and use them.
I've not tried anything intricate, but it's lots of fun.
I suppose you could always sew pieces together if you wanted to make a large thing on your backstrap loom? Messenger bags would be lovely. What's your next project?
