In this video, I am making a pair of silk sock garters for a friend for her elevation to the Laurel, which will be happening this June. This design is a double-sided tablet woven laurel leaf pattern in 20/2 silk.
THIS IS NOT TWIST NEUTRAL
Sorry.
The pattern I'm using is from Mistress Thora Sharptooth, also known as Carolyn Priest-Dorman. Her vast resources can be found at www.cs.vassar.edu/~capriest/v.... Her pattern can be found at www.cs.vassar.edu/~capriest/l....
I transcribed the doubleface pattern to the Tabletweaving Draft Designer software (TDD) which can be found at jamespbarrett.github.io/table.... Just the software, not the pattern...that will be in the blog...link below.
Catherine Weaver's books can be found at www.blurb.com/user/Catheros. In particular, her double face inscriptions book is here: www.blurb.com/b/10482662-tabl....

I am not sponsored by any company, but if any of you are interested to know the materials I use:
Tablet Weaving Pattern Generator (TDD):
* jamesba.github.io/tabletweave/
NEW How to use TDD: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmPy6...
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.
* 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, 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.
