I bought some yarn today and made a new warp :D This time I made it the longest possible (180cm according to the instructions).

I hope to make some bracelets/key chains out of this to sell (cotton yarn is so expensive!! €30 for 9 balls :O (50gr each)), so let me know if you might be interested!

I'm loving these colours already!!

I finally got my inklette loom! I bought it second hand, but it was only used once and has all the original packaging and materials.

So, I immediately set out to make some heddles/leashes! I know I'm not doing it like it is supposed to be done,, but I find this way to be easier. I'm making way too many (40-50 probably), so I have some in stock for broken/lost leashes.

I already have the pattern I want to try first written out, so I will be getting to that later tonight/tomorrow! I'm so excited!

I made some keychain wristbands from my hand woven band! This one is 13 centimeter long (so 26 cm circumference), the band is +- 2 cm wide. I sewed it partly on my 1897 singer and partly by hand!

I ordered some more (60...) of the clips with D rings, so I'll be able to make more! I'm also currently working on a lesbian themed band 👀

I made the pattern on https://carolingianrealm.blog/PatternGenerator.php , here it is:

If you have any tip for selling crafts, feel free to let me know! I looked at etsy, but it is quite intimidating for someone like me (a beginner who doesn't want to sell professionally). Right now I have some things (this keychain and earrings) on vinted, but that isn't seling at all...

Here are some more pics though!

Thanks for looking at my long post, now on to some more weaving~

"I write poems about the words I want to learn, about the silences I keep, about answers I want to have. There is a part of me that yearns, that is small and afraid, that leaves words half-spoken. That's the part of me that speaks when I write. I am influenced by little things, by the small and intimate spaces where I can just be."

Last month, we had a Sweet Talk with Devanshi Kheterpal, an author, poet, and Editor-in-Chief of Inklette.

My body – holy, ocean-like, and the world: walls, blood, hands. The single eye twitching in the corner, and my bones coming loose at odd angles.
