After I posted a photograph of the dresser scarf as I weave it to Facebook, my old friend Peter sent me the first photo below - it is a photo of my first tablet weaving ever, done in 1986. I'd been weaving for years by then, but by backstrap loom and floor loom; I'd never done tablet weaving before. You can see plenty of rough spots and errors if you look below!!
Peter has been wearing it as a wristband since 1986. Wow.
You can see that I have a penchant for red thread, and diamond patterns!!
Below here is an incidental photo of the dobby chain with its pegs in placement for the elaborate 16-harness point twill I've got on the loom presently.
