OK OK I have been very busy so I haven't had time to blog.   (When Thomas Kurian speaks we all jump, the losers ask how high.)  But I am sure you have all been dying to find out what I have been building...So here is the finish product.

It's a loom!  Here it is mounted on the inkle loom stand.  Bingo is less than thrilled.

Here is the loom warped with cotton rug warp.  There is a upper and lower take up spool.  In the center is the three position heddle rest.

And finally the loom in action.  I am trying out various yarns on the weft.  There are a couple of sections rolled up on the lower take up spool.  Note the big gap between these pieces.  I am going to cut each apart and knot the ends of the warp.  They are "mug rugs" or coasters.  Not going perfect but not that bad.
