Tablet Weaving - who has woven the first part of the pattern?

[watervole]

la_avispa on Livejournal is the first one past the post.  I've seen the photo in her journal and it looks really good. She's done the pattern in turquoise and yellow.

Her tip is to use a plastic bag clip on either side of the cards when putting them away, instead of tying string around them.

A couple of people have flat edged shuttles that they're using as both shuttle and beater combined.  (I think I know where I can get one of those in a few weeks time, so I'll try that myself)  I'm worried they might be a bit lightweight as a beater, but it's certainly worth a try.

Well, I've got as far as locating a pack of cards that can be dispensed with...
(Surprisingly difficult: all the really worn packs of cards tend to be the ones retained out of sentimental value, like the P&O ones that someone nicked off a ship back in the 1930s!)

A good start. (new packs of cards are only about a pound each...)

Now get out your hole punch and scissors and start vandalising the cards!

I've seen two completed projects now, so looking forward to more.
