A tablet weaving alphabet from 1457, courtesy of Catherine Weaver's book, Tablet Weaving in Theory and Practice: Double-Face Inscriptions with Lettering Based on the Mainz Psalter of 1457. She kindly gave me permission to use her pattern and demonstrate how it is done. All of her books are available from www.Blurb.com/user/Catheros. In particular, her double face inscriptions book is here: www.blurb.com/b/10482662-tabl....

I've put some fishing swivels on my Amazon storefront which can be found here: www.amazon.com/shop/elewysoff.... I prefer the #3 brass swivels. If you wish to weight those cards rather than use swivels, I recommend about 100 grams of weight per card. Tying them on can be done with square knots, or you can try some fisherman's tricks that you can find here: • How to Tie a Swivel to...

Tablet Weaving Pattern Generator (TDD):
* jamespbarrett.github.io/table...
* How to use TDD: • Getting the Most from ... which will walk you through the many great features of this software.
Yarns:
* Maysville Carpet Warp, which can be found at several different weaving supply places (I often use WEBS at www.yarn.com). It comes in more than 70 colors on an 800 yard spool for about $9, so it can be used in a number of projects and the price is very reasonable.
* Maurice Brassard 8/2 cotton, which I purchased at woolery.com/maurice-brassard-.... It comes in 81 different colors and is really lovely to work with.
* 20/2 or 60/2 silk from Eowyn de Weaver has recently moved her store from Etsy. Each cone is $30 and comes in 18 different colors. There are also small 100 yard spools that run $5 each and comes in more than 2 dozen colors. New web site! www.eowyndewever.com
* Pearl cotton, size 8 or size 10 (or even 12, if you love to work with fine stuff), which can be found is most craft stores in a bunch of colors.
Sewing:
* I use 100% linen from Linen-Store.com in the IL019 weight for my tunics. The quality of their linen is very good, their prices are very reasonable and shipping is fast! Use "ILOVELINEN" in the discount code for an additional 7% off!
Cards:
* 2 1/2" wide (63 mm) made on a 3D printer, a pattern designed by my husband. Free downloadable patterns of other tablets are available on Thingiverse (this one is not my pattern--we are still working the kinks out of the design but these cards are Oseberg reproductions: www.thingiverse.com/thing:180...)
* 3 1/4" cards from Schacht Spindle Company, which run $8 for 25 cards. I love these because they are colored on the edges and they are thin but very durable. Similar cards are made by Lacis but without the colored edges.
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Dulcius ex Asperis is commonly translated as "Sweeter after Dificulties," I believe. Latin class was a long, long time ago so it is kind of fun to exercise those muscles again.

I love how you include the setting up of the loom as well in your videos. I am fairly new to your channel as my son has just got into reenactment as a viking/anglo saxon and i am very excited to help with his costumes. I had no idea how to do tablet weaving but your videos fill me with confidence that i can copy your actions. Many videos dont go into as much detail and i felt at a loss before i found your. Thank you so much!

OMG! You have a Lendrum! I adore those wheels!

see if you can find a 'O' ring to fit that tension peg, you could put that on and it should help stop the threads slipping down into that groove (or the 'o' ring could fill that groove)

I found I could eliminate that dreaded “trench” by the tension dowel by putting a washer that is larger in diameter than the dowel in between the dowel and the loom. Thank you for another concise instructional video!

It feels good that my house isn’t the only one filled with UFOs. 😊

@Reuben-

Thank you for your channel! I’ve ordered an inkle loom and am getting a start seeing what techniques are out there.

A trick I learned in a different circumstance. If you need a sharpie mark to remain on plastic without wearing off either put a tiny bit of clear plastic tape over it or if a more permanent solution is needed clear nail polish

It's been too hot for tomatoes this year. I'm getting some but not as many as usual. Potatoes, garlic, and onions are doing well here too. Things will grow better once it cools down.

Perfect timing! Just improving from a bad bout of Covid and up pops a Weave Along. AND it’s on lettering.

One tiny little comment on the liturgical year: Pentecost os actually not the week after Easter, it's 50 days after Easter! Ascension Day comes in there too, 40 days after Easter. Apart from that I'm impressed with your knowledge of the liturgical year! And this is an amazing project, thank you!

@dreadixon9988

Try a paint pen to write on the plastic cards. I love the way the color stays.😊

speaking of ambition. I'm gonna jump from doing an 8card diamond to the birka 22 for a belt in the coming days as soon as I decide on the colors

Beautiful history, thanks! However, Pentecost is 40 days after Easter. I am bingeing all your videos and loving them!

Linda Hendrickson's lettering patterns have a couple useful features on each row, after the conventional box-per-card layout. Some of us can use a little reminding, so there's a little box that just alternates F, B, F, B to give the direction that the background color turns. Then alternating boxes of white and gray pre-count the runs of background or pattern color, so the first row of your E would be restated as a 7 on white, a 2 on gray, 3 on white, 2 on gray, 3 on white, 2 on gray, 10 on white, 2 on gray, 9 on white. I'm interested in getting into double-faced double-turn like this, and I plan to add those to all my patterns.
