Textile Art - Leaf in the Wind (preparation/warp up)
Getting the loom warped up for a tablet woven band. Gold, grey and cobalt blue mid-weight linen thread. Using 26 cards, of which about 17 are already set up, following the threading diagram which is half-hidden under the loom. The pattern that should appear is also shown - provided that certain card groupings are turned forward/back in their correct combinations. A separate weft thread is passed to and fro, between the upper and lower packs of threads, after every 'turn'. This 'locks' everything into place and changes the individual threads into a cloth band. And yes, the 'cards' on the loom are, in fact, just bits of cereal box with holes punched in the corners.

Close up of portion of the band.

Textile Art - 'Chain of Command' Linen Band
The immortal 'Chain of Command' line. The whole band reads: Do you know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and... (chain links graphic) Jayne Cobb (hat graphic) Firefly P.R. Tablet woven in double face technique. Lettering using L Hendrickson's graphed alphabet + own adaptations. 40 cards in total, 4 threads/card, giving 160 threads. Fine 1 ply linen, in chocolate and orange colours. Band is approx 18-20mms in width. The ends are unfinished - will be plaited or sewn off - and give an idea of the individual threads involved.

Textile Art - The 'Hot Bunk' Hot Water Bottle
Take one old largish ball of brown wool and one newer ball of orange wool. Add: one book on 'How to Knit', opened at the 'How to Cast On' page; your grandma's old knitting needles; lots of backbone-stiffening cups of tea; copious mutterings and imprecations; and a simple (very simple) knitting pattern which you then proceed to mangle beyond all recognition. How's she sit? All warm and snuggly, say the toes.
