Abstract: A crochet assistance apparatus for supporting at least a portion of a flexible filament may include a first plurality of elongated projections and a second plurality of elongated projections, and may be movable between a first position and a second position. Each elongated projection of the first plurality of elongated projections may be proximate to the second plurality of elongated projections when the apparatus is in the first position, and one or more elongated projections of the first plurality of elongated projections may be moved out of being proximate to the second plurality of elongated projections when the apparatus is in the second position. A guide assembly may have a guide aperture that extends above both the first plurality of elongated projections and the second plurality of elongated projections. A tensioner assembly may be configured to receive and exert a resistance to the flexible filament moving through the tensioner assembly.

Abstract: A jewelry loom for assisting in jewelry knotting comprising: a base; a knotting bow, where said knotting bow extends vertically from the base; a hook, where the hook extends downwardly from a top end of the bow; and a plurality of advancement knobs along the length of the bow. In the one particular embodiment, the bow extends from the base at an angle. The base may also include a cleat, where the cleat is used as a further mounting piece for the twines during the knotting process. The bow may also include a connecting wedge, where the wedge slides into a receiving slot in the base.

Abstract: An automatic weaving process for the manufacture of rope hammock beds in which a bobbin of rope passes through loops of rope from the same bobbin resulting in a traditional weave (FIG. 1) from one continuous rope. The process and machine create a woven, open mesh pattern of rope or like materials for forming articles, such as hammocks. The means comprise a frame having a plural set of opposed reciprocal rods, each having a pulley-shaped or like structure mounted on their opposing ends. The frame also supports a means for attaching one end of the rope, and a set ofpulleys to each side centrally, but laterally movable to the rods.
