A close up of my pink and red, woven band made using the method of weaving known as "tablet weaving". The ends of the band have been braided to give it a more smarter look.

Brading four coloured cord (two blue, two red) on my two pronged lucet (or a knitting fork it is known as). The lucet is a brown colour and I'm gripping it with my right hand.

Current WIPs (works in process)– Stitching a border on my tablet woven band and Brading a bicoloured cord on my lucet using lace bobbins.

After months of procrastinating, the wool / silk band is finally coming to life.

1568 woodcut by Jost Amman, with verses by Hans Sachs, depicting a chain-mail maker at his workbench. The craftsman sits at a table, bent over as he fashions the armor, while a customer in a cloak and hat looks on. The scene is framed by a window with hills and trees in the background. Beneath the image is a German poem titled Der Panzermacher (‘The Armor-Maker’), describing the skills of the chain-mail maker.

I am a foreign armorer,
I make the steel hauberk,
Also sleeves and coverings of mail,
Worn both openly and in secret.
From armor I craft strong collars of steel,
I can also roll and clean mail,
When it begins to rust,
Thus the armorer’s song begins.

I've been trying to learn support spindle for tour de fleece, but I just can't get it down. I went on a trip last week so I didn't have any time for spinning, but hopefully I'll get some time this week.
