I have just watched this but I am inspired! I used to make friendship bracelets in the 80's. I used thread and several different colors and pinned it to my blue jeans and made knots going across several threads left to right. It was the biggest anyone ever did and got attention because it was so wide and there were lots of colors. I enjoyed the process and these pieces speak to me that she made. I'd like to do this. Both hands jump so I have trouble doing other crafts. I like that these don't have to be perfect. Perhaps I've found my next project!

I think it was very interesting. I would have appreciated some product recommendations for a loom that doesn't have the warp strings to resolve at the end of the process.
I do wish the covering on the table beneath the loom was white and not orange. Since a variety of colors were being used in the weaving, a neutral background would have been much more helpful.
