I learned tablet weaving through the SCA. I became passionate about tablet weaving after making a spare inkle loom for my wife during a local A&S night and from there it quickly spiraled away from me! I learned how to inkle weave and quickly learned how to tablet weave when the more complex patterns called to me. Currently tablet weaving has been my main textile focus and I am learning a number of different techniques involving tablets. I also occasionally offer classes for tablet weaving and frequently have a teaching loom with me at events. So if you are ever interested in learning or have a question on tablet weaving, flag me down or shoot me a message, I'll be glad to help you on your journey.

Pride Pronoun Wristlets demo band
This was a band made to test making pride pronoun wristlets and motifs to see if I could make them work and fit within a 12" length. I'm happy with how these came out and there will be more in the future.

First attempt at using the double face technique, making my own double face pattern, and back strap weaving. I did not know how to read double face weaving patterns at the time and flailed a lot, this one is completely unreplicable. I did a number of non-pattern turns to attempt to make it look right, you can some long floats which show where.

First attempt at doing the Finish double dragon heads pattern. I used an adapted for threaded-in pattern instead of the missing hole technique's pattern.
