It's not Magic, It's Mechanics - Tablet Weaving Theory by Kris Leet (preview)

Tablet weaving offers the chance to make incredible patterns in the band, but many band weaving enthusiasts are confused by why the colors come up in their attempts, why they are slanted 'the wrong way', or why the pattern is appearing on the bottom not the top of their weaving! Kris Leet, tablet weaving author and historical researcher, explains all the mysteries in this class.
This class is available in full at www.taprootvideo.com.

Of all the things I've done from the beginning, this is one I have been reluctant to do 'as a recipe' - perhaps it's pure stubbornness, but I really don't want my first piece to be someone else's. I have watched others (on YT), but still haven't really taken-in just how it works. And as a pattern maker (like, wallpaper) I would really like to convert a few into straps from card weaving. I've knitted, painted sculpted, drawn, and pic-manipulated ... one day I'll give this tablet method a try. And........ now I have found THIS upload!! YIPPY!!!!!!!! And, I-too have thought that if I taught knit, I would go into the hard stuff first, as the simple takes time to learn, when in reality, to a new student, there is no difference -- they learn to think the tough stuff is tough by learning the easy stuff first. I'm excited to take part in your class someday - hope soon. Joe Guelph Ontario

Finally! I have been combing the internet and KZbin for this kind of information that my very technical brain requires. It’s a complete mental roadblock for me trying to learn anything new unless I know technique behind exactly how something is done and why. Thank you!!!!

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for when I started tablet weaving a bit over a year ago. I watched the multi-hour video of a class run by Kris that's on youtube and it helped, but the mechanics were something I had to figure out myself. I've started occasionally teaching tablet weaving and I always start with explaining some of the basic mechanics that I really don't see in tablet/card weaving videos on youtube. Understanding the mechanics of tablet weaving rather than just following the pattern and letting it unfold like magic is essential to being able to create and reproduce beautiful, complex tablet weaving.

I've seen several videos on how to do tablet weaving, but no one shows what to do with the finished bands!
