Penchant for diamonds


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.
