NEW BAND WITH A DIFFERENT PATTERN

The weaving is getting easier, but it still takes time to do the pick up patterns.
After having to untie myself from the band and loom which were tied to a chair to answer the phone a couple of times I made a quick release clamp from my first pick up patterned band. It is just two pieces of wood with holes in one end that I ran the band through and knotted. I made a loop at the other end of the woven band to fit over the end of the wooden pieces to hold them. It is perfect to clamp the woven band as it gets longer without distorting it.
