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 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!
Thank you for your channel! I’ve ordered an inkle loom and am getting a start seeing what techniques are out there. I really love the feeling of your channel. I haven’t delved into your channels backstory and background, but it looks influenced by medieval reenactment. And though I don’t do that any longer, it does bring me joy to see you practice the learning and exploring of the making aspects I remember. Thank you so much!
Perfect timing! Just improving from a bad bout of Covid and up pops a Weave Along. AND it’s on lettering. I love your talks beforehand. They always have me googling for more info. Glad the family is doing well. Hi to Smokie too.🤗❤️🤗❤️
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!
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!
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. Stellar weaving. I just finished a double face custom piece for a friend. I did not speed warp.
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)
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 Also another thought is to hang a weight off the loose thread to keep it tensioned a bit better while doing those initial rows. I often use heavy S hooks to do that on my big floor loom when I have a stubborn thread.
I love your channel! I love the relaxed and organized sharing of your experienced knowledge. You remind me of my first weaving teacher. I would come to her with a problem and she would say, "Oh good! Now you get to learn about __[blank]__!" My mistakes were as valuable as what I could do. I also love the Renaissance guitar! Such a good vibe for this fascinating historical art form. I subscribed and will be enjoying more!
Hi Elewys, You have comforted us all through our weaving mishaps and encouraged us to keep at it. I wish we could shine on you during a low moment with a press of a button. Like we have TH-cam. New equilibrium is ok!
Lovely to see that you are still producing content, whenever I see you poo up I wonder how you are, and your lovely husband. Still holding you both in my prayers. If you ever do come to England I would love to meet you ❤️ your home looks like so many we know,so familiar..I hope that you would feel comfortable in ours❤️❤️❤️ strength to you sister 💐🌷🌺🌹💮🥀💮🌻🏵️🌼🌸🌷🍄
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.
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 edit: so glad to hear your husband is feeling good
Wow this is so cool! You totally inspired me to create a tablet woven Armenian alphabet (since that doesn't exist on the internet yet). Is there a significant difference between the texture of double weave vs normal weave, and does it impact the width of the weaving significantly? I want to make a belt with my name in the middle but patterns on the ends, and I'm a little scared that transitioning between the weave structures will be really rough.
Speed-warping, brilliant!! I might eventually try something like that. When I get my first weave off my loom. Or make another loom. Sorry for your loss.
Omg SOOOO much counting……*faints* Kudos to you for A: taking this on, and B: doing so on camera even if only to confirm to me that lettering is NOT something I want to work in tablet weaving lol. Glad to hear that your SO is feeling and doing well however, and hopefully that means you’re doing well too.
I just finished a double-faced inscription using Catherine Weaver's book for our next Barony A&S Champion. I will be handing it to the next Champion on Sunday. Its also in blue and yellow 8/2 cotton but blue is my background color.
I also found it easier to draw out the script using excel and numbered each cell 1-40. For the pattern cells I still turned the cell black but used white lettering to see the numbered cell. It was so much faster and easier to weave after doing that.
I don't know how well it would work with weaving, but it would be worth a try... when ever I use sharpie on plastic, I put a piece of scotch tape over it. My only worry in this situation is how well the tape would stick to your plastic before the threads started to snag on the ends of the tape, but it would be worth a try. 💖🌞🌵😷
If you didn't have tension problems, it wouldn't be tablet weaving. -_- And I feel like we got a twofer, seeing speed warping and lettering in the same video, which I've been wanting to learn for a while now - woohoo, no excuses now! Well, other than all my own UFOs. My mom's garden didn't do well this year either, so don't feel too bad.
You explain what looks like a complicated intricate thing in such a way to make it simple. Im thinking of trying obijimi, the cords that tie up the obi worn with kimono and subscribed a while back. Iits been so intetesting with the history and your choice of music. Thank you! Everything we planted this year came up slow, got leggy fast, and then faded. Solar flares maybe? Everything fron catnip to lettuce behaved the same way. 😢
Sorry to hear about your garden failures, too. Turns out my spud harvest is pretty measly. I think I've gotten 10 decent size potatoes out of the whole box. There's always next year, I guess.
Your weaving is so impressive! Do you think there’s a way to make a weaving like this stretchy like an elastic? These would look so amazing as cuffs or a waistband for a garment
Use a stretchy thread material! If not woven too tightly, it’ll be like a stretchy waistband tape that gets put into many kinds of modern leg wear. It will be very finicky with tension, and will not want to stay in exact shape all the time, but it would probably work.
Your video is making some sense out of double face, which I've been struggling with. One thing I'm super confused about, though. I'm so used to the black squares going backward and white going forward, but that's not the case if I watch this right? So, if I understand every two picks we reverse what goes back and what goes forward? Wouldn't it be easier just to do TDD type patterns than trying to figure out which colors go back and which go forward? I'm really confused on that....
Omg, you're lucky you don't have cats! I tried weaving for the first time yesterday and the cats were all over the yarn when I was trying to warp! I had to kick them out of the room because they were being little menaces lol.
One small thing-- the week after Easter Sunday is not Pentecost; it's the Second Sunday in Easter. Easter lasts fifty days, and THEN we have Pentecost. (Ascension is the next-to-last Thursday of Easter.) Then there's Trinity the following Sunday, which begins Ordinary Time.
Greatly enjoy you video. I totally identify (sadly) with UFOs. Sometimes I fear my imminent abduction! Thanks for your genial good humor as well as your clear instruction.
A couple of my Inkle looms are Schact, and that tension bar drives me nuts... and when I speed warp a lot of cards, there's always tension issues, so I flat weave for awhile - no pattern, then use a weavers needle to pull up the tension on the individual naughty threads. I don't want to waste my patience on the pattern with some threads acting badly.
Nice! Your videos should be seen by more watchers. May I repost your channel without changing anything on the clean platform named Ganjing World? Thank you!
How is the background all yellow and not alternating between all yellow and mixed? If you went only one step forward and one backward, I'd think to understand it, but like this it doesn't seem right to me.
It isn’t. If she kept just turning one way she’d end up with stripes, turning one forward and one back would unweave. Remember, two positions are blue, two yellow. If she keeps alternating two forward and two back, starting with yellow on top she’ll continue to have yellow on top, if she does the same starting with blue, she’d have blue.
@@paulinemegson8519 Yes, but why? I would love a diagram. I've been trying to get into card weaving and I'm having trouble conceptualizing why a half blue/yellow on top ends up blue and why it ends up yellow. Something to do with twisting around each other, perhaps? I've been scouring the internet for visuals, but nothing has helped.
Elewys, I would love the dimensions of the monster loom💜💜 It appears to be made out of black walnut!! I would reproduce it in black walnut as well! I am just starting my ankle journey so, let's do this!!

Or tie a piece of rubber band on the peg for now.
was thinking the same thing, or even just a rubberband or a clear bead of silicone caulk
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

Wow what a great introduction to this art form. Your end result is beautiful.
Beautiful history, thanks! However, Pentecost is 40 days after Easter. I am bingeing all your videos and loving them!

Thank you! Things are improving for him, so the stress is way down for all of us. Now to start the youngest's Senior year of high school!!!
Oh how stunning. I love the font and thanks for the link to the book, I need this one on the shelf.
I've been wondering how to do this. Thanks Elewys! 🇨🇦
Try a paint pen to write on the plastic cards. I love the way the color stays.😊
It feels good that my house isn’t the only one filled with UFOs. 😊
Awww 🥰
Thank you ☺️
I requested you to make a tutorial on this ☺️
I use old elastic hair bands to hold my shuttle to the loom when I'm not weaving. A small one might fill that bevel gap on the tension peg.

In this pattern style, you are turning the cards to match the light or dark color. You certainly could use TDD to retranslate the pattern.
I find it easier to warp my schact by lying it on the left side. So the spokes point up
Omg, you're lucky you don't have cats! I tried weaving for the first time yesterday and the cats were all over the yarn when I was trying to warp! I had to kick them out of the room because they were being little menaces lol.
Thank you for the video! I've got a homemade inkle loom and I want to figure out how to make some neat things
