I've been obsessed with this pinwheel design ever since I first saw it, so now I've finally got the chance to try it out: The yarn is my mom's homegrown alpaca, and this scarf is gonna be hella soft!

Valdara: Check this facebook group, they have a TON of references in their "files" section: https://www.facebook.com/groups/418594251523979/?fref=nf As for proper tutorials, though, here are a few that look pretty good and have basic beginner patterns that you can play with to learn how to turn the cards and make the more complicated patterns like I mentioned: http://www.weavezine.com/summer2008/wz_su08_PamHoward.php - This one is REALLY good and covers pretty much every single aspect of it http://www.shelaghlewins.com/tablet_weaving/TW01/TW01.htm

Greetings Ridiculously new here, have no idea where this message will ever go. Oh well. Got myself a loom recently, and been playing around with it. Here's my first try  [/img]This bracelet definitely needs more work - amusingly enough, the most difficult part for me is sewing it in place, not weaving the textile part to begin with. Still, a hippy might appreciate it.

That's pretty neat looking and there are definitely people who would be into it.

A friend showed me this a little bit ago... I don't feel so awesome about the little wee inkle loom I made out of a cardboard box anymore. https://susaweaving.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/weaving-is-for-everyone-how-to-build-a-cardboard-and-bamboo-4-shaft-weaving-loom/

Finished the first baby wrap for my new business! ( All 15 feet of it!) This one is largely a proof of concept. Normally it would get sent out to people who are well known in the babywearing community and they'd use it and offer feedback and reviews to build your name up. This one has some small mistakes and floats that I don't think are appropriate for babywearing. (They're perfectly safe but could snag pretty easily and they just look messy) I'm sampling new yarn with the pattern revised to remove the long floats.

Thats so cool! I'm jealous. Also as mother of a 5 month old, how the hell do you get a baby in there?

I mean I use a long wrap to put my bub on the front, but I can't fathom trying to get her in the back the way she wiggles. I had a friend who showed me the African style of "bend over, put baby on your back, wrap and tie" and the thought makes me break out in a sweat. Thanks, I'll take a look.

I just learned how to card weave and I'm making progress on my own but there's a dearth of beginner-level instructions on the internet, especially re: how to read patterns. Anyone got any recommendations?

Anyone got any recommendations? You can do a LOT with just warping up two colors, one color each in the A B hole and the other in the C D hole, and playing. You can do a TON of patterns by doing this warping order and then just playing with the A / Z direction of the cards, which cards you turn, which direction, and how many. This pace has some pictures and ideas of the pattern variations you can create with the 2 color warping that are pretty good in my opinion: http://www.midrealm.org/mktag/projects/pelagiaTWintro/content.html This blog also does an ok job of explaining the patterning: http://oltramar.blogspot.com/2009/07/cardweaving-longestpostever.html That Damn Satyr fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Sep 15, 2015 |

So I just finished weaving and felting a big sheet wool and decided to make a video documenting the process! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA5Els77xO4

I didn't expect that sheet to shrink down that far! What are you going to do with it?
