Your videos should have more views. They're excellent tutorials for tablet weaving. I'm working my way through all of your videos. The first one I watched was the complete guide for beginners. Very informative. I've done a lot of plain weaves and I want to try tablet weaving next. Thank you for making these, and I hope you continue doing so.
Just ordered my loom. Some models are sold out-I’m assuming it’s due to your excellent instruction and contagious enthusiasm, Elewys! Perhaps it’s time to get you some sponsorships, (if you want them, of course). Thanks for sharing your craft.
I was very surprised when I happened upon your channel and saw you using an identical loom to the one I own. Until now, I had not seen another like mine. I also thought mine was hand made because it has no name on it. Now I am very curious about the origin of these looms. Thank you for your expert tutorials. After having my loom for several years, I now have the confidence to get it out and put it to good use.
I am finally weaving my first band and thought this might be a good one to be the first. Oh my!!! It is so pretty when I can see it up close. Thank you so much for the wonderful teaching and explanations you give for the beginners. HUGs
I just found my first card weaving project, I've made a few regular inkle bands but want more pattern. I'll be warping my loom tomorrow while thanksgiving dinner cooks. ;)
Hey Elewys, you got me to dive into this rabbit hole! I ordered an Ashford Inkle Loom and assembled it this morning, the glue is setting right now. My first band will be the Oseberg 12L1 pattern. I want to use it as a strap on a little pouch I made with needlebinding. Thank you so much for your videos, they are so clear and make the technique seem so simple. Now off to go labelling my cards...
@@elewysoffinchingefeld3066 Oh my god, this is so addictive!! I warped the loom and wove the first metre or so already, and I can't stop. Well, no, I'll stop after just one more turn. Or maybe one more....
I am now picking up a new skill thanks to your videos. I was wondering if you could ever do a video showing how you finish off the weave after you have removed it from the loom? How do you keep it from unraveling? What would be the most period style to finish it off that works with attaching it to items? Thank you!
Take a look at the 10 Things To Do with Your Tablet Woven Bands--I have a little video snip of sewing a piece onto a garment. I haven't had a problem with unraveling, but a drop of fray check will help.
I've watched all the videos... but how do you get it OFF once you're done? Is it just cut off? Is there a special way to finish it so it doesn't unravel?
It's my first go at tablet weaving and so glad I have found your blog/channel! Does it matter which thread goes through the ABCD card holes? Ie thread #1 through A, #2 - B, #3 - C, #4 - D? This is how I threaded the cards - so I am hoping I've done this right? Thank you!
In my book going to be published August 2020 - you will find a revised pattern of Oseberg 12L1 that shows it is more likely it is woven with 12 or 14 tablets - not 8 or 10! Visit my page Oseberg tablet weave!
I've seen your theory about the extra border cards from linen to make sewing it down on a garment easier, and it's an intriguing thought. That would, of course, make the band wider than 5 mm, but the basic pattern in the middle of the piece would remain the same.
Thank you for working on these tutorials for us. I have a question about an image I was doing a card weaving search online. There was a picture where a rigid heddle loom was warped with two columns of the warp going through cards. The picture showed the weaving with the cards creating two strips of a pattern where the cards were incorporated. Have you seen this done? It looked really interesting and I was wondering how they'd warp it. Would those threads just go through the slots? Thanks in advance if you have any information on this.
You are certainly inspiring and I have decided to try my hand at tablet weaving. What I’m not sure I’m grasping when you thread the tablets and they are a single color tablet, is it important that the first warp thread (the farthest to the left) be threaded through hole A?
If all threads are the same color on a border tablet, it doesn't matter which hole you thread first. As long as you end up with one thread per hole going in the same direction (S or Z).
Hi Elewys. I also recently found you and am making my way through your videos. You make me miss SCA events. I also am in An Tir. It has been too many years though. I was wondering if you do any in person instruction? I also was wondering if you have a loom you would recommend? Thank you for the wonderful videos.
Hello fellow An Tirian! When this pandemic is finally over, I will definitely resume doing in-person classes. I taught a few classes through Ithra, Collegium, and at events. Both of my looms were made by woodworkers--one of unknown origin and the other from Baron Alasdair MacRoibert of Glymm Mere.
About how often do you switch the direction you turn the cards (once per yard)? Sometimes you shift the twist behind the peg, but I bet you can only do that so many times.
I am looking forward to watching and learning when you do, as I’m sure you will 😁😁😁😁. I have watched all your videos. You are very inspiring, I love your stories to.

Thank you! I will! I have about a year's worth of ideas jotted down, and more will be added, I'm sure!
Beautifully done! I know what I want for Christmas now! Thank you for sharing this video!

That's very curious...where did you get your loom?

You are AMAZING and your dedication and love of weaving really shows! Thank you for all of videos!!! =)
Woot....Sounders! Thank you for sharing your hobby. I love your humor and your videos are so relaxing and inspiring. 🤩
Game day tomorrow!! We need a win! Thanks for watching. :D

Just cut! I don't usually have a problem with unraveling, but you can put a drop of Fray Check at the end if you're concerned.

Me on Boxing Day (I'm from Australia), watching this and internally debating whether or not I need yet another hobby...
Thanks beautiful work

I can’t find that same pattern on your blog
About how often do you switch the direction you turn the cards (once per yard)? Sometimes you shift the twist behind the peg, but I bet you can only do that so many times.
I flip the edge cards every 2 to 3 feet. The finer the thread, the less frequently you need to flip the edge cards, I find.
Is the print out you’re using in front of you available on your website?
If not the web site, it should be on Pinterest.com/elewys. Scroll down to the Weave Along Patterns near the bottom
Do you by any chance weave with 6 hole cards?
Not yet. I have the cards but haven't used them yet.
I am looking forward to watching and learning when you do, as I’m sure you will 😁😁😁😁. I have watched all your videos. You are very inspiring, I love your stories to.
This would be my first try. But... I want him in 3 color... I need to figure out how I should do. 😂
I can't see the pattern to follow it and after card 3, you haven't said if the cards are S or Z threaded.
The link to the pattern is the description of the video.
