All week, I have been scrambling to get the various components made for a bag, using the Lily Speed-o-Weave Loom, spool knitters and vintage flower looms.

Why do cats always need to sit on freshly warped looms?
I worked with 2 looms set to their smallest dimension. (And was supervised well and truly by Ms Kitty)
You choose the size that you want the Lily Speed-O-Weave loom to be by matching up the holes on the sides and bolting them together.
I used Lily Sugar’n Cream in Black and White to make the front and back of the bag, and to spool knit the cords that form the edgings for the bag front and back.
The front of the bag is embellished with spool knitting, crocheted and vintage flower loom flowers. See: Flower Fairy

Today, I made a video, showing how I stitch the spool knitted edging to the perimeter of each piece.
This is done before the piece is removed from the loom.
Take off the rubber bands that are holding the loops on the pegs. Untie the yarn ends from the loom and tie them to each other.
Weave in the yarn ends.
Spool knit a cord that goes all around the outside edge of the loom, and tie the ends together.
Thread up a needle and click on the video.
Stitching the lining to the woven piece is done by hand. If there are any little ‘oopses’, you can clean them up while you are stitching on the lining.
Note… I wanted to jump ahead to show how the lining is attached, so I popped the weaving off the loom before I finished stitching the edging to it. DON’T do that! erk.
Excellent directions! I’m going to give this project a try
Thanks, Nan! Hope you will enjoy it!
