Delicate White Band
This piece is based on the many monochrome bands from the Iron Age through medieval times. Warp Off-white #20 crochet cotton. Ten tablets warped all S. The patterns are created through the turning direction of the tablets Weft Off-white #20 crochet cotton. This pattern was created by me and is twist-neutral. The stripes and triangles show how turning the cards in opposite directions shows…

Three border cards on each side with a six tablet pattern down the middle. Warp Yellow cotton Green cotton Weft Green cotton History This is a well-known Finnish Iron Age band that many weavers cut their teeth on. (1) The original was woven in fine wool, warp and weft.

Red & Black Fishnet
I can think of nothing better to call this band, as it makes me think of sexy red fishnet stockings. Warp Red cotton. Two border cards on each side. Twelve cards make up the pattern. Each pattern card is threaded with three red cotton threads, with one hole left vacant. Weft Black cotton This is a basic four-by-four pattern (four turns forward, four turns backward). Each side of the…

Struggling With Direction
I’m trying to find my place in our medieval world and not doing a great job of it. It’s not that I don’t love going to events, because I do, but my issue comes in on how to get my A&S point across. Technical and scholarly writing is not my forte and I don’t know how to get everything I have researched (need help with this too) and made out to the world because there’s a lot no one has seen. Any…

Basic History of Tablet Weaving

Materials: White merino single – warpOrange long wool single – warpYellow blended wool single – warpWhite hemp single – weft Procedure: This band was woven using the tablet weaving technique.

The Flat Cap
Please, be warned, some of the pics in this might make those young and young at heart teehee a bit. You have been warned. I decided I needed a flat cap for court. Of course it needed to be pink, and I knew I didn’t have enough of the bubblegum pink yarn, so I used a redder yarn as the bottom layer and brought it to the top for one circle. The problem being that I was running without a pattern…

Blue Suede Sandals
I have a long history with shoes. I’ve always struggled with what’s on my feet due to having Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome which is a form of muscular dystrophy. I should have been diagnosed when I first started walking, shouldn’t have had the first to sets of surgery I had on my ankles, and I probably would be much better off if I’d had AFOs (ankle foot orthotics) the whole time, not getting the…

Absolute Frustration
Perception is reality, which is really hard to work around when you know you’ve more than done the work to move to the next level, but it’s almost impossible to show it to the rest of the world without employing a staff to do the parts you’re not comfortable or able to do. Let me explain. I’m a writer, but not a technical writer and getting all the info out that’s in my head onto a piece of…

In Devotione Pulchritudo Vivat
In Devotione Pulchritudo Vivat
My friend Audrye is an apprentice and a protege. Her laurel told her that she would be taking a student for herself, so she needed a belt. That’s where I came in. She needed a blue belt with an ermine on each end. I’ve never played with brocade, but I had been playing with single-color twist-twined tablet weaving, and it was the best way to make this work, so I dove in and went for it.

Projects In Progress January 2020
To hold myself accountable I’m going to try to post a monthly list of what I’m working on. This is as much for myself as to keep my lovely laurel Mickel, my households Knotty Snake and the yet unnamed fibers household I’m building, and those who are so kindly helping me as I learn and grow.
These are the projects I’m currently working on:
 Blue student belt for Audrye – Blue cotton,…

From Blah To Blood – My First Foray Into (not period) Dying
About five years ago a friend decided to attend Malagentia’s Harvest Moon Shoot. While digging through Gold Key I found this fantastic dress in my size. Not only is the dress linen, but plaid, which I love. Even better than being plaid, the plaids match all the way around the dress. All the gores, everywhere, the plaids match. On top of that, there are covered buttons all the way down the…

Tips And Tricks Of Tablet Weaving With Wool And Acrylic
Tips And Tricks Of Tablet Weaving With Wool And Acrylic
I know many people who absolutely will not weave with wool or acrylic because of how sticky it can be. Personally, I love weaving with wool as it gives such an earthy period look, especially when woven in period patterns and techniques, but also great for modern looks. The look can be simple or complex, depending on what you’re after.
The basic Oseberg band is easy to weave, but looks beautiful…

What's In My Tablet Weaving Kit?
What’s In My Tablet Weaving Kit?
Just recently I’ve added a few new items to my tablet weaving kit, and I honestly don’t know how I lived without these things close at hand. Used to be that I sat down with my loom and wove four forward and four back, or had a simple pattern in front of me. Now I have a half dozen looms, each with something different, and somehow my cats are able to put all their fur on everything I’m working…

So Much Work, So Little Written About It
So Much Work, So Little Written About It
Over the past year I’ve learned so much, read so much, taught so much, and yet have written about so little of it because it feels like I’m on the go all the time. I plan on posting all my pics and research soon, but most won’t be up until after Pennsic 48. I will flesh out each of these things that need to be fleshed out, but here is basically what I’ve done over the past year or so.

How I Got Here
How I Got Here
I’ve been in the SCA for the better part of sixteen years, but it wasn’t until I learned to tablet weave, and the building of Ravensebridge did I really get serious. It helped that Stacy got serious about it at the same time. Between getting a crossbow, my looms, and Stacy being taken as a protege, we were both moving forward and learning a lot. I honestly didn’t think about becoming an…

My First Pennsic – Getting There
As per usual with all events, my guts hated me the morning we were to leave and we didn’t make it out of the house on time. That was fine as we had plenty of time planned out to make it to Rome, NY for the night. We’d been told to take the northern route and break the trip into two days. We had planned on getting a hotel room, but then Stacy realized that one of his best friends lives pretty…
