Restless Knitter

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.
