The first band in the series is an easy, straightforward weave. She assumes you know nothing about card/tablet weaving. Her videos are really fun to watch.Īnyway, Elewys’s videos got me started. I highly recommend all her videos of you want to start card/tablet weaving or even if you are just curious about it.
Not only is Elewys a fine tablet weaver, she is also an excellent teacher. In addition to the 20 bands videos, Elewys also created the how-to video (and blog posts ) I found and a number of other videos related to tablet weaving. The lives of participants are enriched as we gain knowledge of history through activities, demonstrations, and events.” ) Elewys decided to use her Covid-19 Pandemic lock down time to created a “Weave Along” series, making 20 bands, one for each of the kingdoms of the SCA, and creating YouTube videos and blog posts for each of the bands she was going to tablet weave.

I have to say, the Schacht inkle loom that a couple of my friends gave me, was one of the best birthday presents ever! During the recent August heat and humidity, I pulled out my inkle loom and warped it for a plain weave band.
