[inazzP00]

Wow thats so cool! Thanks for making this video, you're awesome!!

[19CroatiaPower98]

00:00 hi im GAY...just sayin....

[BlackOpsFTWTF]

you from penn state?

[AAQI18]

I am a quilter and understand the fun in creating fabric. I hadn't intended to get into weaving, but this looks like so much fun and you explain it so well, that I think I will just have to now. Thanks for posting this video.

[xmelnelx]

The video is great , but I can't find the website for the index card template

[OokamiCashaII]

YESSSS! thank you so much! This is much easier than the first tutorial I used.

[LaPrimavera2006]

Yes, it's perfect for beginners! Thanks a million!

[kdmika]

OMG...easy to learn and comprehend, simple and wonderful project ...thank you very much for sharing.

[komisobaba]

I love the way you explain and teach. You are very good. I do appreciate what you are doing. Thank you! It's the FIRST time I understand what weaving is all about!

[komisobaba]

I love the way you explain and teach. You are very good. I do appreciate what you are doing. Thank you!

[ekgirl2010]

I really liked your video.  You are an excellent artist and an excellent teacher. Thank you so much.

[tonksloopy]

I was looking for how to make your own weaving cards for tablet weaving but this is another neat idea!

[snowdropfeather]

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent! I became so excited about this that I decided to use the packaging from the 12 can soda carton and was able to get 27 slots for the warp. I am using repurposed paint sticks glued to the sides for reinforcement. I can't wait to try it out! Keep up the excellent work.... :)

[MessytheMagicCat]

Thank you for this video. I'm going to try it myself! Your video is great! Kiss

[kirstenellin]

Thanks, Travis! Love the video. Very instructional, you made it look very simple. Can't wait to try it out for myself :-)

[SarahJB7]

ThankyouThankyouThankyou! Awesome tutorial, Travis!

[yusipierre]

Oh, my gosh! I just fond this video! Better late than never, I guess. You are an amazing teacher! Using simple language and very clear instruction. Will be looking for more videos from you. Great job!

[123lindaabc]

Wonderfully explained. 

[buckfastbee]

Oh, that's great! Thank you for making this video!

(and I want to know where I can get the pattern of your gorgeous sweater....adorable!)

[ScreeminMeeme]

Thank you much for showing us such a very easy way to make a loom out of a few everyday items. It was fascinating to watch. Your video was very informative and for sure I'm going to try this. I look forward to more tutorials from you. Great job.

[TheTiaKeas]

I love this video! I have seen weaving on the big machines and it is great to see it done in a way that I can do it at home! Children will enjoy this too. Thank-you!!

[amjPeace]

Hey this looks like it would be fun to try

[GerryIsNear]

This was very educational. I like how you can just use stuff from around the house to weave stuff instead of buying fancy equipments. I thought the part where you stick the pencil in your pant loops was kind of weird though.

[Ritercrazy]

Travis thanks so much. This was helpful.

[TheOfficeGurl]

I don't get Craft Magazine anymore and I'm bummed, but I'm SOOOO glad I found this! I wasn't able to take a loom class this semester in college, but who cares now! I'm so excited to see what kind of crazy stuff I can make. Since I'm laid off from work and FT in school now I'm definitely a "starving artist." This is a fantastic inexpensive way to weave that has so much potential!

[girthta]

This is SOOOO COOOL! thanks for posting. I'm going to do this with my girl scout troop- they will love it.

[billabong9494]

Really helpful :) I cant wait to start weaving :D

And boy, your sweater is fabulous! I want it! XD

[AshLibris]

Brilliant! HOW much fun. I see this as not only a very wonderfully inventive idea for adults, it's also easy for kids to follow. There is so much beauty in simplicity. THANK YOU! Great that you have such passion for this art form. Keep teaching/posting!

[goodbuddysal]

great video...cute guy too! WITH A MASTERS DEGREE! 

[wouldntyoulike2know]

That was very helpful. I really enjoyed your tutorial. I think I might give this one a try. Thank you. And I have to say, you are really, really hot. :)

[waxson1000]

:0 amazing wo ai Travis u could make scarf it would be easier than knitting pls tell me wear to printed the paper

[bitemyram]

Dude! Clever!!! Good luck to you...

[SoccerHYR]

i mean i dont know and dont give a shit if he is gay or not .

peace everyone :D

[MusicManiacAddictMar]

Awesome video there Travis Meinolf!

[soulshakedown909]

very informative....his gayness is tertiary

[leftatmars]

VERY COOL! I bought a "card weaving" kit once but I just couldn't work it out in my head. This is a very nice visual. Thanks for sharing. =-)

[kbbles]

wow... thats awesome

[MelanglePrime]

I'm trying to make some Scandinavian traditional bordering for a realistic Viking costume, and this is the most simple and understandable start to card weaving I have seen so far. This is the best intro, and I feel confident that I understand the basic concept. Thank you very much for producing this!

[SunriseLodgeFiber]

I just want to thank you for all that you do for the weaving community! I teach 3-5th graders and JV weaving once a month. We've been working on pot holder looms and I find the more I introduce other types of weaving ie. Rigid heddle...inkle the more they are interested. It's hard to spark interest with expensive looms. This is very practical.......thank you thank you thank you;)

[chickenkarma]

OH MAN..... this. is. so. AWESOME.

[Wolferock]

Hi Travis

I loved your note card weaving demonstration. I'm spinning and hoping to weave dyed nettle fibres. Converting your 'note card pastern' (Rigid Headle Loom) into wood while making a basic cottage loom - has worked brilliant.

Thanks so much and nothing wrong with a Masters Degree, so long as you share. Brilliant!

Lots of good wishes from The Old Rectory Lodge, Tea Lane, Celbridge, County Kildare, Republic of Ireland.

:-)

Best Regards

Wolfe

[deathbyplastic]

highlights and false eye lashes and he could say yes mr. smith we would love to house you and your family but are you sure you would be a good tennant, i mean you seem to be one of those hetrosexuals, i mean should you even be sighning for a house. lol. just live and let live guys your life will be better for it

[deathbyplastic]

this guy is great, could watch him for hours, great vid guy. ( must say im saddend to see that a persons sexuality has been commented on on here, but hay the world is changing and some people are finding it hard to ajust, but i would like to say to them, just think about it, you coulld be homeless one day and you could go to the housing office to find the officer is a big screaming homo, with pink

[BuffaloDancer684]

you could also use yarn that needs more space when your're beating it in because it fluffs up so much, like mohair or angora.

[cherilynmonroe]

Inspiring. Thank you for teaching us how to construct this particular loom species ;} Very clever indeed!! Congrats making the cover of Craft Mag.

[ironbord]

thats really clever good job mate

[loonie209]

This is a totally awesome technique !

Thanks a lot for sharing it with us !

[freyaPL]

thank you very much for making this video and posting it on youtube!

english is not my mother language but i understood how it works (weavering)!

thank you once again!

[XoXoLaLaLandXoXo]

cool!

[aazrpp]

Beautifully demonstrated. So unpretentious yet concise. I will forward this to my favorite camp counselor. Thanks!

[plumevine]

I loved this, really had no idea where the process was leading so I was fascinated all the way through, and in this short time I've learned how to make cloth. Thank you Travis :)

[lol3togo]

you forgot to give it to your boy freind

[greenlife7]

I am so making a scarf.

[xxsabreeneexx]

WOW !

[brynpuppy]

Wow! That is a really great technique! You're an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing. Will try this with my kids and with my Girl Guides group.

[JanREBEL]

Cool!

[Betrisher]

Hey thanks! Your teaching technique is *excellent* and your unhurried way of delivery really worked for me. I'm going to try this! Any tips on how to handle a larger project? I'm already thinking of ways I could use plywood...

[cutezombiekitteh]

omg that was so cool and simple, thank you

[EyalSpirit]

I loved the idea. Real nice!

[htrfdes]

This is really good!!

Thank-you !!!

[chilimonkeymouth]

i have a masters degree. lmao.

[Spideekid]

at first i was thinking ow look GAY MAN but i decided to watch it all and i likes it good job :)

[Elodee123]

Prejudice, aren't you? You should learn to avoid that mindset. It might get you in trouble in the future.

[arshadali1987]

this very old idea which is very famious in mountian area in pakistan

[mdbezz]

My daughter was always interested in weaving but after seeing your video she tried an index card loom per your instructions & she now owns a real?? rigid heddle loom. Thank you.

[sabakadear]

I like your unhurried attitude and that you clearly enjoy yourself a lot while doing this. Great teaching! Thanks.

[JookieJenkins]

Agreed!

[Joysagypsy]

You should totally have added how to make a butterfly at the end where you say you could just use your hand...

[dollfayce333]

your teachings are awesome, so simple to understand, thanks. About the gay thing- to each his own. But seriously mmmm-mmmmm, I'm a woman and damb you are very SEXY!! If Only I had just one hour w/ you I think I'd be content for a good while. I have a few gay friends that would go crazy for you as well but so far I can't bring myself to share him w/ them. Also never ever ever not once have I ever been attracted to a gay guy or even wanted to be but you.......mmmm-mmmmm, ROAR!

[perunatic]

Hey! That was excellent. Very well explained. Thank you!

[yknotspin]

This is by far the best video for starters it is fantastic!

[evewrites3]

I GET IT! So clever, yet so simple. Your explanations and visuals were perfect. Can't wait to go get some colored string and try this. I was thinking of using embroidery floss if I can find a good deal on it. Thank you!

[CApoppy]

Just saw this. I am a handweaver who belongs to a guild that does many programs for kids. This is a perfect way to get kids (and maybe adults) interested in learning how to weave without having to have unaffordable equipment and complicated instructions. Many thanks for making this affordable and accessible to all. Loved it!

[xOHYx]

good video

[sarajesushq]

Congratulations!!! The explanation is very good. I really understand everything... I will do it at home!!! Thanks a lot!!!

[laurainel]

What a great video! You are totally absorbing! I've just recently become interested in weaving and purchased a small cricket loom...which works in exactly the same way as your creation with cardstock. It is a wonderful way of getting a taste of fabric making. Love you and your video!!

[c33r0k33]

Travis,

Definitely what you are involved with is the restoration of man to Life. I hope you inspire tons of others to emulate what you are doing. Thank you.

[fancypants421]

That man is a genius.

I am so doing this! lol.

[deadboi111]

BORINGGGGGGGG!

[desertbutt]

You know what else is boring? Commenting on videos that you think are boring.

[finnconnaughton]

@desertbutt if i could of given a double thumbs up i would of :)

[gleneth00]

THIS IS MINT

[nicanfhilidh]

This is a wonderful and concise explanation of basic weaving. Thanks!

[RealRSXPPLsBackUp]

I use card borard and cut slits in it to put sting in it, and a wrap white string around it and i use the pattern, under over, to weave. Thanks for showing me the other way to weave! My art teacher taught me how to weave!

[JummahFilms]

Travis, you're too cute. Can I adopt you?  This video is what got me started in weaving. I eventually got a Beka lap loom and have made a scarf and am working on fabric for a tote bag right now. Thanks for turning me on to weaving!

[JummahFilms]

Now, I'm totally addicted!!! LOL Not only did I get the Beka loom, I am now the proud owner an inkle loom too!

[CandyLV72]

great use of ordinary household stuff to make gorgeous artwork! Thanks for sharing!!

[keblake]

That is one of the coolest things I've seen in a really long time. Thank you so much for posting this, I have a class project to do and I wanted to do weaving but I didn't want to buy a loom and now there this awesome thing I can make and I'm so excited! lol Thanks again!

[KubuntuYou]

badass

[happybird123]

Love the tutorial! Awesome job! :o)

[artistpw]

Thanks for this excellent example video.  Low tech techniques are great!

[addiefleur]

Wow was this cool!

I'm a knitter. but now I have to try weaving!

Very nice manner this dude has and the he gets the basic concepts across very clearly.

Thank you so much for posting this video!

addie

[SheerTalentx]

okay asshole, grow up

[ichbinichbinich]

Nice! And it´s much more fun to watch a nice guy than all the other girls in crafting business, hehe. I wish more men would work there...

[jerem1209]

looks like noodles...or maybe i'm just hungry...

[TauCeti7]

Very informative video! Thank you. Knowing how to create your everyday things is something people should be more interested in. It's amazing to know how much people would suffer if there's a disruption of our social systems. Making your own clothes, growing your own food, basic medicine, etc, is something people should seriously consider learning. Good, helpful videos are always welcome.

[PhydeWice]

He reminds a bit of Bob Ross. Both just really mellow and laid back, and they both show something pretty cool in the process.

[JummahFilms]

Bob Ross...now that brings back memories! Happy little trees... I found this video while searching about how to do card weaving also known as tablet weaving. Very nice.

[Carrie82157]

I am going to try this. Thanks so much for the detailed instructions.

[hackeroverclocker]

Hes probably gay, but the project is a very good one.

[mexflyboy]

Who gives a darn if he's gay or not, the question is, is his video tutorial any good? I believe the answer is: yes, his video was a damn good/neat tutorial! :-)

[hackeroverclocker]

true dat!

[soulshakedown909]

@mexflyboy

right?

[mephisto4444]

in touch with feminine side=closet fag

[sandcrab132]

flaaamerrrr

[crayzclown]

he might just be in touch with gis feminine side

[letterpool]

strangly erotic.

[Chloemadi2]

This guy came to my school!! I'm serious

[Sohji444]

yea i bet

[kouinetsu]

The Password is "Flaming"..... Youuuuu? Actor.. Youuuuuu?

[mcgooglykins]

i had no idea you could do your masters in weaving. all that ethnoweaving history stuff was making my inner geek excited.

[nikkimaymay]

Lol weave**

[nikkimaymay]

Wow! I wave alot, i usualy take a piece of cars board, cut slits on both the top and bottom, arnd... a half a cm apart, and cm down, then put yarn threw each one, and weaved thew them, having to go in and out the the yarn. This looks so much easier! Thanks! :-)

[zhemlja]

thanks for the tutorial, it was explained really nicely, and i'm sure i'll try it soon :-)

[hitokage4]

That was really neat. I've never seen such a thing before... it's quite useful. Thanks!

[puppyprincessgirl]

dude that is cool i am so gonna try it

[batild]

i think he is gay.

[RomuloXK]

me too... o.O

[limmer89]

ok and then?

[RomuloXK]

why should I know? he talks very softly, but he's suspect...

[dahooligan12]

amazing, im surely gonna try this out when hurricane IKE shows up..and uh, no offence, but u sound a lil gay....i have nothing against gays im just telling u incase ur straight that u shouldnt really sound gay, just so no1 gets u wrong...

[myartylife]

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for this!

[timidgothica]

you're amazing. I was enthralled by the process.

[fuckbush009]

that was really cool

[dunnonuffink]

You have a very relaxed, friendly manner to camera - makes people feel like a friend has just shown us something we can do easily.

Finally - a use for my laminating rejects. Thanks for posting!

[MrTimD]

so this would take u a very long time to make a jumper then?

[02151d14]

awesome!

[GakkiSai]

...WHatever happened to Bre?

[bmdmaloclm]

wow thats cool. I never thought it could be that easy

[jyunjoo]

This is realy amazing! Definitely gonna make a scarf like this.

[orangebluemango]

this is actually really cool +5

[twitchstah]

radddd

i wanna try this real bad.

[p7tms]

I gotta say -- this is very creative and smart.

[bojangles465]

fag alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[scammovies]

that's what I was thinking!

[mmmmmccxxc]

look at all of his tattoos though!

[graymalking]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I recently tried my luck at weaving with a cardboard and a needle, but failed miserably. This method makes it so much easier! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :D

[elaineezy]

awesome, i'll work on a scarf sometime :D !

[DOOMCame]

I can make myself a hat nao

[emofreak28]

wow, really cool. now i no wat i'll use 4 a scarf when winter comes :)

[CarpeGimli]

This way is so much faster than all those little weaving projects we had while in grade school. Good scrappy idea using the notecards for people who just want to experiment and perhaps not commit to buying actual trade tools...

[User1005273]

that's neat, but you really need to speed it up. Maybe some time-lapse when your threading?

[cloud9wannabe]

iv never done weaving that way...i thinks its really cool with the up and down slots and holes thing...thanks for the video!!

[Guru3point0]

yeah, it's called backstrap weaving...we did it in school once, in art.

[dreibein]

this is so lame but also fascinating... I always hated weaving, now it appears kind of sympatic to me...weird

[willgax]

oh my .. you can make some gloves now :)))

[jsmxwll]

That's pretty nifty.

[watzupdawg]

Behold ... one of the few things still being made in the USA.

[alizta]

And you have no manners, sorry, but you just don't have.

[poxart]

this is really cool, you can make your own fabric

[kirby4d]

A lot of surprises in how this gets made. I can see this being adapted into a more solid-built thing.

Cardboard would definitely be better than index cards though.

[aprildraven]

Thank You I was wondering how to do the homemade way of weaving.

[xdasxefilx]

nice tats and awesome thecnique.

[Molinkintov]

hes got some mad tats tho

[EraProductions]

LOL x] you guys are funny...

I really dont get what the big deal is x]

[endofworld96]

now im just throwing this out there i have nothing against gay people but would you think a straight guy would know how to weave?

[NvPGulstab]

You know, blueboy4rock, there's a difference between talking with a lisp and being gay. I do realize that he talks a little creepy, but some people can't help it, so shut the fuck up and mind your own business.

[zezimawanabefriends]

he is creepy

[nedfrichman]

"just any pencIl or a chopstIck..." wtf

[graymalking]

I don't get it. What's the problem?

[brandonk1p1]

Oooo, Ideas,lol

I think Im going to make one of these out of a tougher material, like plastic, now that i know how a loom works the possibilities are endless,lol.

I Crochet, and knit, but this is actually a neat thing to do.

[animespark]

soo, how exactly do you finish both ends. this video wasn't very concise.

[maurits2]

no wai! i didn't notice that! thanks for pointing it out. =O

........

[DiscussToUnderstand]

I just have one negitive thing to say (which has nothing to do with weaving.

You DO NOT wind ANY electrical wires/chords the way you wind a rope or else you will make kinks in the wires.

But the weaving tool is really cool

[starwars6rulz]

Awesome

[p7tms]

That is a very interesing way to make cloth. I do wonder (as already mentioned) how to finish off both ends when you are done so that you can wash it.

Thanks

[Sessions500]

I weave the ends into the wool with a sewing needle. You sort of pull the wool thread through itself, through the center of the strand lengthwise, almost like making it one piece. When you wash it, it becomes one piece (this really only works with wool)

[peachymanaangel]

you take the end and knot them up to the fabric or if you have a sewing machine run a line of stitching across the edge of the fabric.

[ThyLaSlain]

alright so how do you finish it off?

[deijhan]

COOL
