    Here's a funny bees story for you. My Papaw had honeybees at one time as a hobby. Granny said one day he took the honey filled frames out and put them on the porch. The bees followed, and swarmed around him so bad he couldn't work with it. She said by the end of the day they'd taken every last bit of that honey back to the hive.

    I just found your videos while looking up crochet videos and have subscribed! I never knew this form of weaving existed until a couple days ago, and your careful explanations of the loom have convinced me to try weaving. I'm already imagining making straps for crochet bags, lol. The cards make it easier for me to understand what is happening during the weaving process, and it doesn't seem as daunting now. Thanks for the great videos!

I also love the pattern generator you turned us on to... it actually helped to understand what the threads do when you attempt to make your own pattern. Mahalo for sharing your knowledge with us! it is certainly appreciated

    Such a lovely pattern! Thanks for posting.
    And yes, I'm one of the people who's just watching - it's relaxing and fascinating. I'm not even an absolute beginner yet, but perhaps one day I'll work up the courage to have a go. I have sort of started the preparation by trying to make the cards from plastic milk bottles. One 4-pint bottle makes 2 cards, I have 12 cards so far, I hope 20 will be enough for a simple pattern. The loom could be a problem though, I want to improvise something, to try before I buy. I keep eying the broom handle and a hacksaw, but my mum would wallop me if I cut the broom into pieces... :-)

    Want to hear something hysterically funny? Two and a half years ago I naively chose this for my SECOND EVER tablet weaving project. Annnnnd two and a half years later now, I've finally picked it back up and am going to finish it, and you know what? It's still almost as much as a pain now as it was then, but I am SO loving it anyway, go figure! At least now I know slightly better what I'm doing.

    To mark your plastic cards, you could try acrylic paint markers, and then do i light coat of clear sealant. It will probably still rub off but not as fast. Or, if you have a woodburning tool or similar, you can use that to engrave the numbers.

    Three belt fragments and a belt version by the Finnish researcher Barbro Gardberg can be seen in the album Eesti vööd (Eevi Astel, Ilmamaa, 1998). This scheme is based only on the original fragments. Fragments of the belt are kept in the Institute of Archeology in Tallinn, almost uniformly gray and very thin. The combination of red and black is based on the results of the analysis of the filaments.
    The belt consists of 38 boards, 8 of the outer ones have 4 threads each, the rest - two threads each. The outer boards of each row make a quarter turn. The rest of the planks make a half turn to change color; to continue the same color, the board is not touched.
    Yrmegard
    The edge boards make 90 ° quater turn and the pattern boards make 180° half turn.

    Hi Elewys, I am planning to buy an inkle loom. Can you recommend a book to get started with tablet weaving?

    • @elewysoffinchingefeld3066
      @elewysoffinchingefeld3066  4 года назад +1

      Many people love the Candace Crockett book on Card Weaving, which is available in many places (Amazon), but I would also recommend Applesies and Fox Noses from Mervi Pasanen and Maiki Karisto. It starts with easy patterns and works you up to more difficult patterns towards the end. You will need to order Applesies book from their web site, which costs around $29; if you order it anywhere else, it'll cost you an arm and a leg. Once those are obtained, learning how their threading/warping notations are written in each book is key to being successful.

      the LL is a kinda breathy th sound, with the tongue between the teeth and you kinda hiss the sound down the sides of your tongue. So, put the tip of your tongue behind your top teeth, and gently hiss like a snake! Addiontally, the single F is a v, and the w is an oo sound.
