    How incredibly kind and generous of you to do all this work and share this demonstration, it helped me enormously. It can be difficult to do something when I sort of know “how” but I don’t really understand. A lot of lightbulbs went off watching this, thank you!

    I am a knitter and crocheter that has become interested in weaving. Today I saw a video mentioning tablet woven edges in fabrics and wanted to learn more about that, in particular, and tablet weaving in general.
    I opened two other videos, which I stopped fairly quickly to open another. Yours was the third, and it caught my attention.
    I very much appreciate what you have done here. This obviously took quite a bit of time to film/document, and definitely was cumbersome to perform (popsicle sticks don’t stay put!). Your teaching style assumes zero knowledge, which is appreciated. While being thorough and explanatory, you did not drag anything out.
    It is rare that I leave comments at all, but this video is so well thought-out and helpful that I wanted to be sure to convey my appreciation.
    Thank you for this! You have definitely sparked an interest in me while conveying foundational knowledge on the topic.

    I've been stick weaving lately and remembered my interest in tablet weaving which led me to you. I remember looking at it some years ago and thinking that it was just too complex, but this video has been so helpful. I understand what's happening while the weaving is occurring. I'm interested again and am looking forward to trying it out. Well done!

    I am so glad that your video came up in the "you may like..." list. I've been wanting to learn tablet weaving since I attended my first SCA events just over 40 years ago, but when I had the time to learn, I couldn't find a teacher, and when I found a teacher, work and family obligations wouldn't allow me to take the class. Now I'm waiting for my tablet cards to arrive in the mail, and thanks to your video, I have a much better idea of why behind the how to manipulate the threads, and it will hopefully help me understand my weaving and not just blindly follow directions. Thank you so much! 🙂

    I LOVE this explanation!! I came across something last night in which I heard my first reference to s-threaded/z-slanted and there was a little blue puff of smoke as my brain exploded. I reread it probably 10 times and couldn't make sense of what the presenter was saying. I watched about 2 minutes of this video and it was crystal clear. And your larger-than-life presentation of the weaving process - without the craft sticks - made perfect sense. I'm SO happy I kept looking for a decent explanation of this part of the process. Thank you SO much!!

    Oh my gods this demonstration was so incredibly helpful! I finally twigged why I was struggling to handle S and Z when I'm a knitter and spinner and had been thinking S and Z for years. I just never thought about the fact that some pattern authors are referring to card slant and others to direction of the yarn through the cards. Eureka! Thank you!! (I also have feline helpers, so the final montage cracked me up.)

    Super clear explanation of the relationship of S and Z threading to card tilt. I was so confused when I started tablet weaving and would get various results from different patterns. It took a long while to find out that it really is dependent on the pattern designer how they write their patterns - for threading direction or for card tilt? Once I figured that out, it was so much easier to get the results I expected. Very nice video.

    • @impendinglooms

    • @PetroicaRodinogaster264
      @PetroicaRodinogaster264 Год назад +1

      have a look and see how they did it without a loom. You really only need a belt around your waist to tie one end of the warp to and a strong anchor on the opposite end like a brick raised at the same height as your waist when seated and you can achieve the same results. Notice in the demo, no loom just the weight. Having said that I have an inkle loom as you can do non tablet weaving as well on that. there are demos on here.

      @@impendinglooms You will not believe this but not long after watching your video and making the comment about cats I was sitting on a sofa with all kinds of containers full of cottons, wools and beads, having a bit of a sort out etc…when my small but very inquisitive dog decided that would be a good time to have a look. She jumped on me, containers and contents flew everywhere and…in my efforts to stop it all from happening I poked her in the eye. It is not the first time either. A few years back she did a similar thing when I was working with very fine wire and she actually got an injury requiring medical help for that, as it cut her eye and an ulcer formed. She has to be in everything….I love it and hate it at the same time.
      Her eye poke this time came to nothing. Some winking for a little while then a sleep and she was okay than goodness. I will have to devise a way to keep her sticky nose out of things.

    This is an excellent video! Thanks for doing it.
    In your intro, you show a LeClerc Cendrel floor inkle loom (a pre 1990 model I think). Have you ever used Texsolv heddles on it, and if so, what size?
    Also, regarding threading direction (S and Z), not only do different authors use different symbols for direction, some sources use opposite terminology, reversing the S and Z from how you define it in this video. It's important to check how a pattern author notates their patterns. I've found all kinds of new and interesting errors by not double checking.

    • @impendinglooms
      @impendinglooms  Год назад

      Thanks!
      I haven’t used Texsolv heddles, I’ve always made my own.
      Yes, different authors use different systems, and it can make things confusing. The most common variation I’ve found is whether they use S/Z for thread angle or for tablet slant, which are opposite. If the thread is S, the tablet slant is Z, and vice versa. I agree with the recommendation to check for a pattern key or instructions to clarify which one the author intends.
