Date Started: c. Fall/Winter 2011?
Date Finished: c. 12th Night 2012?
Material: Crochet cotton size 5, Joann’s
Color: Black, Yellow-green, Turquoise
Number of Cards: 32?
Width: 1.75”
Length: 8’ 4”
Purpose: Belt for my bliaut
Dyrfinna taught me how to tablet weave using a back strap
Set up to chairs to wrap threads around to cut to length
I don’t remember where I found the pattern or what the pattern was supposed to be
Attached band to a belt wrapped around me and then anchored it to a chair or bed
Thread was way too thick for what I needed
I couldn’t find any good thread colors, so I grabbed what I could from Joann’s because I was dying to start the project. That was a bad idea because the colors don’t match my project and it has always bothered me.
I messed up the pattern in the same place for all three diamonds
Back-strap weaving kills my back
Used too big of card weaving cards. Very hard to turn.
Wore belt to 12th Night 2012(?) and I looked very pregnant :( It was too thick and too long.
Original pattern similar to this one. I do not remember where the original pattern came from or what it looked like.
