Today I had the chance to combine my love for math and weaving at @mathfestpwn — a festival all about showing that math can be fun! 

After my talk on connections between math and weaving, visitors could try weaving themselves during the walk-in workshop. And wow! So many kids (and adults!) tried tablet weaving, inkle weaving, and rigid heddle weaving.

Huge thanks to the Mathfest team for the organization — it was a great day!

Last week the #winterbandenwissel2025 came to an e Last week the #winterbandenwissel2025 came to an end: an exchange of bands, in which you weave a sample for one of the other participants and you receive one. This year not only bands were sent, but also extensive letters! Here are some examples. For the complete overview see https://www.bandweefblog.nl/winter-banden-wissel-2025-de-resultaten/

@loes_meijer once wove a band in double weave with @loes_meijer once wove a band in double weave with abstract shapes on a blue background. That inspired me to put my own spin on it: geometric figures in neon colors on a black background. Too wide for an inkle loom, so I used a shaft loom instead. Just took it off the loom—on to the next one in this style because it’s so much fun! #doubleweave #loueterica #bandweaving #inkleweaving #scheepjesmaxisweettreat #geometric
So this is Inkeltje, the smaller inkleloom by @loj So this is Inkeltje, the smaller inkleloom by @lojanwheelsandlooms . I’m testing it for tablet weaving and I love it! 

It fits on your lap. 

You can remove the upper front peg, giving you more  space and to avoid twist you have to flip your border tablets less frequently. 

And Lojan introduced the Tiny Tablets last week: 5x5 cm (2x2 inches): firm and smooth!

Last but not least: the cool yellow shuttle!

I’m teaching a series of tablet weaving courses I’m teaching a series of tablet weaving courses at @biebalmelo organized by @weeffanaat . A very enthusiastic and talented group of 7 weavers.

Great day, this is why I love to teach!

For all inkle and tabletweavers in the Netherlands For all inkle and tabletweavers in the Netherlands and Belgium! 

Met de jaarwisseling in beeld is het ook weer tijd voor de aftrap van de Winter-Banden-Wissel 2025! De jaarlijkse ‘bandenruil’, waarbij je als deelnemer een stukje band weeft voor een ander en zelf ook een band krijgt. Met als thema “dat ene patroon”. Met als doel om een mooie lijst van websites en boeken te krijgen van alle wevers die meedoen en die weer als inspiratie kan dienen voor nog veel meer wevers. Laten we er met z’n allen een creatieve start van 2025 van maken! 
Inschrijven kan t/m 21 januari 2025 via mijn website: https://www.bandweefblog.nl/winter-banden-wissel-2025/

After almost 4 months of a forced weaving break du After almost 4 months of a forced weaving break due to a neck hernia I’m slowly getting back to weaving. One day up, one day down and max 20 rows. This double weave has been waiting for me and finally I’m able to work on it. And I love it! But I need my notes to remember what I’m doing and how to get the colored squares 😄
