    I'm currently in the process of weaving this pattern, which I came across on your amazing blog. However! Foolishly I completely misunderstood the pattern and blithely assumed that the blank spaces were given as a 'background' colour, which I then used as white yarn following the same 'Z's and 'S's as the other yarns in the same cards. It comes out so delicately and even has a gorgeous pattern on the reverse. Though once I finished I will make the Mammen pattern once more as it should have been done, but will use different colours as I have used this time. At times I do struggle with the cards, and am always so impressed by your ability to make this craft go so smoothly. And I hope that in time I will be able too. Thank you for this beautiful video, I hope your child will be as exited and thrilled by receiving the gift of Mammen Mia as is hoped for and more. You are a true inspiration to my crafting, thank you for your hard work! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I came across your channel by accident a few days ago and after watching one video I was hooked!....Of course I watched the rest of them too. - Now I have to try this.
    Since my order with everything necessary will not be arriving anytime soon I went to my local thrift store today and bought a makeshift weaving loom and some cotton crochet yarn. Back home I cut some cardboard squares and now I am waiting for my hubby to come back from the local hardware store with a hole puncher. Guess what I will be doing the rest of the day. :)
    You are an amazing teacher and so easy to listen to. Love all the background info on the patterns too. I will be back to your channel often.

    I have conquered many fiber art skills in my lifetime and honestly, needed a challenge again to inspire me. I have found it here with Elewys of Finchingefeld and her easy-to-follow instructions in tablet weaving. I've been eyeing tablet weaving for some time and your videos have excited me so I decided to give it a whirl. I warped worsted weight cotton yarn I had on hand around the back beam of my rigid heddle loom and tied to the front beam because I need to be able to walk away without a hassle if need be. Made a set of cards from watercolor paper which only held up long enough to do about 150 picks. My shuttle inventory ranges from 12-24" long, so I used a bit of cardboard for a smaller one. Of course, the results left much to be desired but it was enough to get me hooked. Now I want to learn all I can about this technique! I ordered cards, a few balls of sport weight cotton yarn and a proper shuttle which arrived in 3 days time. I'm so excited now and can't wait to get started. But first...I must watch more Elewys and choose a pattern to try. Someday, with your kind help on RUclips, I hope to be skilled enough to feel confident to warp the entire width of my 24" rigid heddle loom with a fine silk blend and with tablets and weave beautiful fabric in a colorful design. Lofty ambitions right now, I know. I do believe, with your videos, it'll be lots of fun working toward that goal though. Thank you so much!

    21:54 "...because this is a skip-hole weave, it's going to do everything in pairs..." Could you explain why that is? Also, how do you finish off a weave (haven't watched all your videos yet, may be addressed elsewhere). How does one sew these onto fabrics; are they trim that finishes the edge of the hemmed fabric, or sewn over the bottom edge leaving a fabric backing? And how do you cut the weave to length and stop the fraying? I really like your training on this and you are very very clear on the subjects you are covering!

    • @elewysoffinchingefeld3066
      @elewysoffinchingefeld3066  3 года назад +3

      Skip hole weaves, having only two threads per card, have to be rotated twice in order to move it from top to bottom or bottom to top. To finish the weave, I usually put the shuttle through the loop I leave behind, essentially creating a little half-hitch and then just snip it off the loom. I don't have issues with fraying--I just leave about 1/2" at the end. If you have a concern about fraying, you can put a drop of fray check on the end to keep it from unraveling. I do a little bit of sewing on film in the "10 Things" video I made a couple months back--look for that one. You can sew it right on the edge, a little ways in, or rather far up from the edge--but I've never seen it sewn over the edge like bias tape. I hope that answers your questions! Have a great holiday season!

    I use Spro Sports Professionals Black Barrel Swivels with Safety-Snap Gr. 2 and 20 kg and I use brass boards that you can enjoy for years. Our elaborately manufactured weaving boards have smooth, soft edges and rounded corners all around. The generously dimensioned thread holes for pulling in the warp threads as well as the handy format of 55 x 55 mm and only 0.8 mm thick make tablet weaving an experience. The boards are unbreakable, do not wear out and are of course rust-free. Not only ideal for beginners in board weaving: The beveled A-corner helps enormously when counting rows and makes it very easy to check whether all boards are in the correct position. Two and three small bores clearly and permanently mark the B, C and D corners. By grinding for hours, the weaving boards get a highly polished, smooth and supple surface which over time gets a nice matt, aged look. The large recess inside serves to save weight. But it is also practical when tying up the board package to secure the work in weaving breaks. Complex patterns made easy: Our weaving boards are available in brass, copper and nickel silver. Simply use a different color for the boards, which are treated separately in the course of the pattern You can see straight away which boards are to be “folded” - no mistake!

I'm very proud of the outcome, so thank you!!!

    Hiya, sorry if you've covered this, but I can't remember seeing it anywhere - is there a way of working out roughly how much weft you need for a given length of band without having to do a sample? I'm weaving with my plant-dyed handspun, and its vanishingly unlikely that a second batch would be a good colour match, so I don't want to run out but also I don't want to get to the end and find out I could have done another metre...

    • @RandomAFP
      @RandomAFP 3 года назад

      Oh, also, being skip-hole, I assume the weft colour matters for more than the edges and I wouldnt be able to continue with the contrast colour as weft if I ran out of my ground colour without it looking weird...

    Hi Elewys! I have been following you for some time, and looked through your videos, and two questions have come to mind :-)
    1. Once you have finished your weave and you snip it, what do you do with it then?
    2. What do you do, if you find out that you want the weave to be longer than first planned? Or is it possible to weave continuously?
    That you for your lovely videos! :-)

    • @elewysoffinchingefeld3066
      @elewysoffinchingefeld3066  3 года назад +2

      Once the warp has been cut to length, it's really not easy to extend it. If you warp up 3 yards and discover you need 5 for your project, you need to warp up another 2 yards. Adding 25% to the warp length than what you need for the finished project, of course, because the length shrinks as you weave.
      It might be possible to weave continuously if you had a spool of yarn for every thread you need in the piece...16 cards in this piece with 40 threads total...$9 per spool of yarn...that would be $360, plus weft thread, maybe another $9...then you would need a loom that would hold it and maintain tension as you weave... But eventually those spools would run out.
      If you haven't seen the 10 Things To Do With Your Tablet Woven Bands, check that out. After I finish a project, I snip it off the loom, roll it up, and hold it with a straight pin. Usually I end up putting them on garments or selling/gifting to others. At this point, however, I am keeping all the new and different ones for my "portfolio" for use as displays and classes.

      @@elewysoffinchingefeld3066 thanks for the answer! :-D I was actually more thinking about if you should tie knots for braid the ends of the weave to make sure it doesnt untangle :-)

      Gotcha...yes, I have gotten that question a lot. I don't find they unravel easily, so I just snip it when it's done and roll it up.

      When I am weaving, for the last 3 or 4 rows, I tuck a thin (1/2" wide) strip of scrap cloth into the loops on one side. When I'm done weaving, I remove the cloth and feed my weft tail back thru the loops, then I tighten the loops, pull the tail taut, snip flush, and add a drop of fray check at the end.

    By the way Smokey the parrot is so cute, and sings in tune too. What a star!

    Those cards look and sound like they may be made from art framing matte board.

      Yes, he is...sort of! I tried teaching him, but he only got a few of the notes and then got stuck. He's a bird of very little brain, but we love him.
