Mystery tablet weave. Step 7 - Weaving the second part of the pattern
I'm going to put a link to the video in the comments, so you can't see the first part of the pattern here.
It's very simple. The second part of the pattern is exactly the same as the first, but you rotate the pack of cards in the opposite direction, and keep doing this for 4-5cm, but which time you'll have undone all the twist.
At that point, you can either go the easy route and continue alternating the first and second parts of the pattern, or wait a couple of days and I'll show you how to do something unexpected to produce a third variation. (There's a lot you can do with this particular loom set up - it's very flexible)
At the point where you change the direction of rotation, you'll see some longer than normal stitches. Don't worry, these are perfectly normal. They're called warp floats and happen whenever you change direction on the card turns.
If you run out of yarn, it’s very easy to start off a new weft thread. Simply leave the end of the old yarn dangling on one side; give the cards the usual quarter turn and let the end of the new thread dangle on the same side. The twisting of the warp threads will hold the ends securely and when you’ve finished you can just snip the ends off. There’s no need to sew them in (you can if you really want to, but it isn’t necessary)
