Tablet weaving


Well, the weather has been nicer. The seal pups are growing. The garden is growing. The tatting is growing. 
I’m also preparing for another workshop. This one I’m learning more about card weaving. Here’s a good link:

Incidentally, scholars “argued spiritedly” about how an ancient Egyptian linen belt was woven. That’s what pricked my interest years ago. No, not the argument. Geesh. The use of linen in an example that has survived so many years. Linen as a fiber intrigues me. I tat mostly with cotton as that’s what is readily available. I do plan to explore tatting with linen.
