OK, not Rigid Heddle Weaving but weaving is weaving and I don't know a weaver with only one loom! LOL A couple of people on the Facebook Page mentioned they are new to inkle loom weaving so I thought I'd create this quickie demo for making a design on an inkle loom by picking up selected pattern threads. It's really easy once you see how it's done. I hope this video helps someone. Enjoy and happy weaving!

Mini Houndstooth: Pinwheel Pattern
Easy to weave...tromp as writ...weave the weft the same as the wrap! For pinwheel, alternate 2 dark and 2 light colored threads in the warp and weft, that's all there is to it!

Pattern Weaving with a Pick Up Stick
In this video I will show you weaving with a pick up stick behind the heddle to achieve a pattern in the weave. The stick is going 2 under and then 2 over the slot threads. I move the stick forward with the heddle up and pass the shuttle through the shed. Then I put the heddle in the up position again, but move the stick back and pass the shuttle through the shed. Then I move the heddle down and pass the shuttle though the shed. This process is repeated to achieve the pattern shown in the video.
I hope this video has helped someone. I couldn't find any videos or clear instructions with photographs anywhere showing this procedure.
If you know of a video showing how to make patterns in the weave using a pick up stick, please, please contact me...because I have spent hours on the internet searching for this and the only things I could find were "Buy my Book" kind of links or vague written instructions that I couldn't wrap my head around especially since there were no accompanying videos/pictures.
...I am an avid Google user and I could NOT find any FREE information ANYWHERE about this procedure which included photographs and/or videos.
So, if you like to support FREE information via the internet, please stop by http://rigidheddleweaving.com and http://tabletweaver.com when you have time! :)
Pattern Code: U = Heddle Up D = Heddle Down U+S = Heddle Up and Stick forward (flat) SE = Heddle neutral with stick forward but turned on edge ---------------------------------------- Warp: Pick up every other thread. U, D, U+S, D, U, SE. Repeat. ---------------------------------------- Warp: Pick up 2, Skip 2. U, SE, U, SE, U, D, U+S, D, U+S Repeat.
