Picked up some Aunt Lydia's Crochet thread classic size 10 in black, white, and peacock. Super cheap from JoAnn's with a coupon.
I tried to warp up this
from http://mimbles.com/tablet-weaving/pattern-library/
I thought I would save some thread on a practice run by not warping the whole length of the loom. However, I didn't use the tension peg in my ingenuity
Double and triple checked by warp. Handy cloak pins are handy.
But this is the result
Not the pattern. Seems like it's just the points of the horn that are messed up. I tried a couple things to make them show up which is why it's not the same. The directions call for "twisting" the cards, which is kind of weird. Don't like it. And now the threads are too tights to keep rotating. So, that's done.
Next time I will try a pattern from someone else.
i made that same mistake!! I think I lined up the tablets in the opposite order 12 to 1 instead of 1 to 12 (left to right). I got it right the second time. I made a mistake a few years later with this same pattern by turning the cards once before I started the official turning sequence. It turned out nicely, but not the kivrim. The pattern is fine, I believe. Others are the same as this one.
