Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. I am one who enjoys watching weaving, but am trying to convince myself I do not need another hobby! I love your channel it is so peaceful and funny at the same time. Thanks again.
Your videos have had me hooked for months now. After a disastrous attempt at tablet weaving on a belt loom, I am getting my first inkle loom for Christmas!!! This beautiful!!
Muchísimas gracias por los subtítulos en español. Te seguía un poco a ciegas, ¡¡¡me alegra tanto entender la historia que hay detrás de las cintas!!! GRACIAS
I love your videos! I've been curious about tablet weaving for a long time but am resisting adding another craft to the existing ones--your videos allow me to live vicariously.
I’m onto my 7th pattern now. Slowly following through each pattern you’ve done. Enjoying the process even if my tension is still a bit dodgy. Lots to practice and learn! 😁😁😁😁😁 Thank you and have a lovely holiday season with family and friends (socially distanced of course). 🤗❤️🤗❤️
Very distanced...most of my family lives 100 miles away or more. My parents are in Canada and the border has been closed for months. :( But, we count our blessings--we're all healthy and well. My very best to you, as well.
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. 🐝🤣
Beautiful pattern and I love that you give the history of the patterns! There’s a loom, cards, shuttle and thread in my letter to Santa Claus this year! I’d like to see how you finish off your work in a video sometime.
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!
Tea break!!! Love it! I am also hooked on your videos and patiently await each new one! I just ordered some more cards from Amazon because I wanted to do a 28 card weave, so I have plenty to try this! 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
You are so very welcome! Hoping I can come out to the islands this Spring...we were talking about taking in the Big Island this time--none of us has been there before and I would love to do a volcano tour.
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... :-)
I'm a recent subscriber, but I've been watching your videos for quite some time now - I love all that you do! You are **so** appreciated! Thank you for all this... your works are among the things that shape my life, existence, and skill-wise wisdom - THANK you, very much
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.
Hiya, i like watching your videos to get tips and to see how the patterns turn out. I have tablets made of horn and marked them with nailpollish. It doesn't rub of on my fingers :) might work on your plastic tablets too. Keep going, keep having fun!
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.
I'd written a comment about the S/Z difference in the two borders, asking about it. Then you mentioned the error. Comment deleted :) This piece is stunningly beautiful.
What a stunning pattern! With the level of complexity this one has, I just have to wonder how long it took and how much trial and error was necessary to produce this piece during the era it was created.
I grew up in An Tir! Down in Wastekeep. Just moved away this year to Midrealm and I'm missing my home barony and friends from up in Wealdsmere. I'm hoping to get hooked up with new friends here this summer, but haven't figured out where to go for meet ups. There aren't any practices nearby in this canton 😞
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. www.yrmegard.net/ru/tablets/patterns/tw_artefact_pattern_02
I really enjoy your videos, and have begun tablet weaving because of them, so thanks for the new hobby! :). Do you ever participate in the Oregon Flock and Fiber festival? I would love to visit with you.
just a small suggestion for markings on plastic. If you want them to be more permanent do your marking and when it is dry go over it with clear nail polish.
spongebob pop up..*3 hrs later*🤣after all those cards!! my husband came in and looked at the pattern and called it a drunk zebra😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣which with a lot of colors would look like that I guess! 2 pencils....smart idea...and then the spongebob cue🤣🤣oh man you've made a bad day better!!! (car broke and it's going to cost a ton to fix)
И.....куда все эти ленты....сейчас это не в мир не на пир и не в люди. Обожаю сама всю эту старену. Делаю пряжу ,вяжу польта и вышиваю.....так как делаю нитки сама, то не позволяю их ни резать ни кромсать так несчадно....Покоцать такое золото на тесьму и ленты....ни позволила бы ни себе ни врагу, а вот связать изделие....любое : шапку, снуд или пальто....это другое дело! Извините ,если вдруг обидела....
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.
I don't weave (although I'd love to learn) but I do love all crafts and I love watching your videos - keep it up! I was wondering if it would be possible to see both the Hallstat 152 braids side by side to compare the designs?
@@elewysoffinchingefeld3066 if each got a slight indent, acrylic paint count go into them and cover with some mod podge to keep them from rubbing off. The 3d printer may be able to have the image modified to include the letters. I'm loving the videos.
The St. Bathilde weave that has nine pages of patterns, which I did in 60/2 silk. At least it wasn't skip hole! By the way, my son loves the name of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and wants to visit sometime...just because of the name.
@@elewysoffinchingefeld3066 LOL I bet! The name is a bit of a touristy thing tho Most of the locals called it Llanfairpwll. 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. So its LLan-vair-pooLL
I think I had *just* caught it, so there was no effect this time. In other cases, you could end up with a thread out of place, which would disrupt the pattern there.
I'm from around the same area (Wisconsin/Minnesota) and my use of "gesundheit" is apparently a hold over from those same German immigrants, even though my family is mostly Irish.
Same--in fact, I lived about 20 minutes from Germantown, WI. I did find out that I'm about 1/8 German from Mom's side and we still have some German Christmas traditions in our family. Then I married a guy with a very German name that was passed down through the male line, but he's mostly English and Scottish!
As an Estonian, I am very excited and happy to see this content. Thank you for taking me back to my motherland! 🤸🙌
So happy to find pieces from a variety of regions and I'm so happy that you are enjoying this!

I am getting a new loom soon, and I already have cards for tablet weaving. I just can't wait to get started on some lovely weaving.

I was watching that cup of tea like it was a Viking Ship on the horizon out to destroy my life's work........
Maybe fingernail polish on the edge rather than sharpie??
That's a great idea!
I knew someone would have suggested this before me. :)
Love it
Maybe you could try stickers for labeling the cards instead of marker
I suspect that the stickers would come off fairly quickly and I'd be concerned about the glue on the stickers getting on the threads.
Nice!
Hi Elewys, I am planning to buy an inkle loom. Can you recommend a book to get started with tablet weaving?

@@elewysoffinchingefeld3066 Thank you - I was able to view the photo despite not being on Facebook :D
Is it possible to have your hubby carve into the cards with a dremel and use some colored uv resin for the letters ?
Maybe...but using a dremel for that kind of precision requires a fella to be able to draw.

@@Ravenesque Best description of ll pronunciation I've seen.
I have suspected you live in the Pacific NW! Washington?? I am in Federal Way.
North of Seattle!
Absolutely stunning pattern in those colors! You noted that there was a card that was a 1/4 turn off. What does one do in that case?
I think I had *just* caught it, so there was no effect this time. In other cases, you could end up with a thread out of place, which would disrupt the pattern there.

Is it correct in the pattern that card three is actually Z threaded? To mirror the right, shouldn’t it be S threaded to match? Just asking.

A little more than an inch.

I did try that and it bled a bit. I might try acrylic paint, though. :D
