Probably should add some hashtags:

Wooden tapestry frame with two bands of flower and leaf trim going from top to bottom, a sprang pouch hanging from the top left with some long crochet hooks in it and a felt receptacle hanging from the top right with a medieval dragon design
Felt bowl attached to the side of the wooden tapestry frame by two loops. It looks a little like a mug. There is an orange dragon felted on to it with yellow wings. The dragon is in silly medieval doodle style and looks uncertain
The back of the same felt mug thing. A smug rabbit plays some sort of trumpet.
I have upgraded my sprang loom, and made use of the dragon I liked from the 1410 book of hours but did not want to wear on my poncho.
The bands are for putting dowels in at different levels for different sizes of fabric creation…

Tiny hat in spirals of blue and white with a messy pompom on top
Two long thin pieces of fabric joined with a line of yellow crochet. One is Z twist interlace, the other is blue and white intertwine. Both are chained in the middle.
More sprang! The craft that’s fun to say.
I made a teeny tiny hat, and two samples. I’m going to make a load of panels in different patterns and stitches for practice and crochet them together. Then, depending on the size I might make a cushion cover or something…

Wobbly green yellow and white pouch with a black zip lying empty on a sofa. Bands of different texture can be seen
The same pouch, open, with some beige roving sticking out
The same pouch zipped with the roving inside, viewed from the top
And in its final form

16 months… brace yourself…
Sprang!
And Kumihimo.
Basically braiding things is now on the menu.

Sprang in progress. Variegated threads in golds whites and greens are tensioned on a frame and four or five rows of twists have been made at the top, kept in place by a metal knitting needle.
Sprang!!!
Actually Sprang II, The Resprangining
Sprang in spring colours…
After this one I’m going to award myself basic knowledge status and try making some interlaced sprang or some sprang lace…
It’s pleasing to do something I hadn’t even heard of before and which works up so fast
#Sprang
Long narrow red pouch lying on dark fleece
Long narrow maroon pouch hanging by a small handle on the side of a tapestry frame, two fat plastic knitting needles are inside it
First #sprang creation. A little pouch for my shed bars- once I work out what I’m going to use
Piece of woven narrow fabric still stretched on a frame with a bit of broken plastic knitting needles keeping the middle from unravelling
Craft things I have learned today:
1. Sprang exists as a craft and history
2. You don’t need new equipment
3. You can experiment and get nice twists and shapes
4. My weird add colour/new yarn method worked
5. Balance is key
6. Plastic knitting needles are too weak for shed bars

a small finger-woven bag with a cute stuffed rat in it.
Timeline cleanser: my first attempt at a #sprang bag. Sprang is a type of weftless finger weaving that appeared around 1500BCE or so. The work is not lovely, but it will hold this tiny version of the Giant Rat of Sumatra.*
Happy Friday, all.
I just found out there's a book called "Bog Fashion" and not only do I want to own it, I want to watch Bog Project Runway someday....
I'm interested in the sewing and weaving, really. And also #Sprang, which is on the sample page.

These two pouches are some of my early explorations in sprang. Both are intertwined. I did the blue one first and then the brown. I managed to gain some skills along the way. 🙂 #fiberarts #sprang #primitiveskills
As Jason piloted the ship through the #Strait of Gibraltar he had #deja_vu. Sure enough, the Argo #sprang a leak as the stern passed into open water. His men tried to #catch the leak before it was too late, but failed. All they could do was #lay down the oars & abandon ship.

A couple branches with white dogwood blossoms in full bloom stand against a bright, cloudless blue sky
the sky #sprang free from the strangling grasp of purple-fingered clouds, emerging so piercing blue and bright that it illuminated even the nasty bits nature tries to keep hidden, the decay and rot that shrink behind rosy blossoms and green fronds

Sat and watched the clouds roll by and listened to trees rustle in the wind on a rain-shiny park wall. Listened to the kids play. Little guy busied himself with understanding the electric bike. Was a good day.

Do you #Sprang? Do you want to be added to a #Sprang Starter Pack? Let me know, or post your projects... with the hashtag!!
Ok, I did one wonky #Sprang project once as proof of concept. I'm trying to put together a Starter Pack for #Sprang, but I need five people total!

All I’m saying is that #braids and #sprang are like #weaving that uses the warp as the weft.

If you do try #sprang, I recommend the tutorial by @sallypointer.bsky.social where she gets you to alternate colours in the warp. It makes it so much easier to see the structure & not get in a tangle the first time.
