It’s all in the cards- card weaving 2

Yesterday, I blogged about card weaving after having not done it for yonks.

I finished a little sampler,

which you see to the left.

There are all manner

of wonderful sites

about card  and tablet weaving

on the web.

I need you to know

that I don’t profit

in any way, shape or

form by listing them.

There’s a new law being

enacted that is making

sure that bloggers

are totally upfront

about getting paid and given products and all that. So,  now, that’s taken care of.

Just a heap of nifty and interesting links that aren’t related to me in any way:

:Here’s the link to end all links: The Twist (Tablet Weaver’s International Studies and Techniques) site, with a monster load of  inspiring links:  Twist

Linda Hendrickson is a master of tablet weaving. She designed a couple of phenomenal dog leashes for Interweave.

Here’s the link to the ‘Haiku Dog Leash’: Leash

and here’s her website (which is delicious, so be prepared to be awestruck): Linda Hendrickson

Ruth MacGregor has a charming little tablet weaving kit to get you started: spinningforth

Here’s a page that gives some basic instructions: Basics

And, here’s another lodestone of link pages with instructions for historical re-enactors, too:  Tablet Weaving

The pattern for this Viking band from Birka in Sweden is just too lovely for words: Birka

Hmmm…. the Birka Band is so beautiful that I may just have to get my craft knife out and make some more cards.

Of course… I immediately start thinking: oooooh… I should make ~wooden~ tablet weaving cards.

It’s the lure of the woodworking shop.

Have you ever noticed how wood and wool call out to one another? Ah, wood and wool… I hanker after both of them!
