Hand in yet another cookie jar
Just because I haven’t mastered the floor loom, nor the table loom, doesn’t mean I can’t stick my hand in another cookie jar.
Tablet, or card, weaving. It was more fun than I thought it would be. I made my own set of cards using a spare set of playing cards.
This is part of my second attempt and it didn’t take long at all. (The first attempt I messed up the turns, cut the weft thread out to start over, and ended up cutting a warp thread. Oops.) The whole thing is only about 3 feet long but not bad if I do say so myself. The thing I had the most trouble with was remembering which direction I needed to turn the cards. I also tried double faced tablet weaving (both sides look the same, though colors are reversed) but that was a bust. Some cards go one way, some go another, then the cards change and the turns reverse and it was brain overload.
I think I’m done picking up new yarn hobbies.

That is really cool! I’ve never heard of card weaving. It looks really interesting. Please don’t give up on new yarn hobbies. I’m learning a lot through you!

Dang, I bought that Interweave book/kit that comes with cards, and I’ve honestly been scared to try it. I’ve had that thing for years.
I AM a weenie about some things.
