I have been doing inkle commissions for trade recently. I much prefer that to using money. Materials and time I have. Money, not so much, especially with the wedding planning.
The most recent is for a friend of mine in Canada. She fell in love with a purple and green belt I made and wanted to add one more color and have it in stripes. So once I finalized the pattern with her, I warped the loom! All in all, it should be roughly 5 yards, enough to wrap around her twice with some tails.

Of course, as it goes with all things crafty, it isn’t a true crafting project unless something goes wrong. I usually experience this with warping a thread the wrong way or running out of a certain color. So you can imagine my surprise when the whole thing warped up beautifully! Yay! No adventures!
Wrong.
A yard into the weaving and my tension rod snapped. Doh!
So now it is on hold until I get the materials together to fix it. Fun times!
