Mystery tablet weave

 

Here's a reminder of what you need for the mystery tablet-weaving project.  The project will assume no previous knowledge and I'll stop and take questions of help people sort out problems at any point. All are welcome to join in.  I'll post the first instructions after Easter as several interested parties are away over the long weekend.




All you need to join in is a ruler, an old pack of cards, a pencil, a bit of string, a leather belt, a hole punch, a pair of paper scissors, sewing scissors, some yarn of any dark colour (I'm using black so you can clearly see what I'm doing, but any colour will do), some light yarn (anything will do as long as it is the same thickness as the dark yarn). Optional: left over yarn that you really hate and want to use up almost invisibly (that's the black ball at the bottom in my case)  You can just as easily use your 'dark' yarn.
You won't need a whole ball of anything, or even half a ball. This is a good project for using up left over odd bits of wool. It doesn't really matter if your 'dark' yarn is half red and half navy, or if your 'light' is part pink and part yellow. As long as you like the colour combination and there's a reasonable dark/light contrast.

Collect up your bits and I'll post the first instructions after Easter is over.
Anyone can join in, and I'll try and help if you hit problems.

This project will make a woven strip suitable for a bookmark. If you want to make a longer strip for a hat band or belt, I'll explain how to do that at the start.
