Tablet Weaving Diaries

I'm embarking on a new band soon and I'm planning to document each step along the way with a short video. I'll be sharing the videos on YouTube and Instagram (I'm @tabletweaving over there) as well as here on my blog. 

If you'd like to join me, the draft I will be using is the one below. It's a new botanical draft I just finished designing and I've named it Sweet Pea (my favourite flower). Interestingly, it uses motif lines in two different colours: green for the pea pods, leaves and stems and red for the flowers themselves.

A tablet weaving draft for 38 tablets, formed by a grid with white or grey backgrounds to squares to describe turning directions and white, red or green ovals to represent threads
