What a timely message! I am still trying to find my tapestry "voice" and I have a number of small looms warped up, many with half finished training exercises on them. I've been struggling with the voice that says that I can't start anything fun until I've finished what I've started, but the result of listening to that voice is that I'm not working on any of them. You've inspired me to just cut them off and start over with something else that really speaks to me! Thanks for sharing all the parts of your journey. :)

It’s quite tough sometimes to decide to stop and try an alternative but in the end it makes it all the better. When something’s off let’s address it and move on. I’m crocheting a skirt for my mom and I know I need to frog it. Not happy with the fabric it’s making. Many hugs

Hi! I don't use cotton for tapestry weaving, only for handweaving! I don't feel like it has enough structure for me - but doesn't mean you can't experiment with it! (though I would recommend mixing it with a fibre with more structure)

"Here's a hint!" INKLE LOOM in large letters. I wish I knew what happened to my late mother's inkle loom (I think she made it herself). Given away before a move? Stolen? I'm definitely tempted by inkle looms, there are a lot of applications for woven bands, so they're not just "toy" looms. As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong) you can also do card weaving on them, which opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
