What started it
My evil plan to make others just as project-bouncy as me is working. Janice has been tempted by the dark side of tablet weaving. Mwahaha! It all started innocently enough. I was going through Handwoven’s free patterns for the loom and clicked on the tablet weaving link. I honestly thought tablet weaving would be hard, and useless, but when I saw these leashes I knew I wanted to try it. Go ahead, click the link. You know you want to. Especially if you have a dog. Maybe even if you walk your cat, your rabbit, your llama. Imagine having a custom woven leash or collar for your pet. Tempted yet?
In between learning about tablet weaving, I started a knitting project yesterday with the Brooks Farm Mas Acero that I bought at SAFF. I had to start over 4 times. Three times for not reading directions, and once for picking up the wrong size needle during one of the other going back to where I screwed up times. I’m not saying what it is because I’m still not sure the yarn will work, and I also have a tendency to not finish things I talk about. Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t have talked about the tablet weaving.

I took a class with Linda Hendrickson at guild a few years ago. She was wonderful. I bought all the equipment to start tablet weaving, stored it away & promptly forgot about it. Didn’t know Handwoven had free TW patterns. Hmmm, leashes for Christmas presents??

I stand by my earlier statement.
I hate you.

I have the same trouble with handmade gifts. If I tell someone I’m making something for them, I will never finish it.
Time to go walk the llama…
