Next project

I started a new tablet weaving project today, learning as I go.  This is my first attempt at continuous warping, and my first attempt at an Egyptian Diagonals pattern.  This is the first pattern from John Mullarkey's "Egyptian Diagonals" book, and I am doing this on my inkle loom, in navy and white #10 crochet cotton.  This is supposed to end up as a lanyard for hubby's work ID.

I managed the warping with only one minor error.  (I included one empty round of all four threads, where I had not dropped a card.  I had to cut the threads and tie them off.)  I am using a knitting counter to keep track of which row I'm on in the weaving pattern; it has a 20-row repeat.  There are 10 different rows, and each row is done twice.

I also got some new weaving cards today!  I ordered these from Palmer Looms, and I love them!  They are a little smaller than the cards I got from John Mullarkey, and they have not only letters (on front and back of the cards!) but they also have different colors on each edge.
