2020/2021 have been quite a year with COVID times and trying to remodel/move into my new house! However, I wanted to share that I recently ordered two new books:
A Simplified Guide to Historic Tablet Weaving: https://books.google.com/books/about/A_Simplified_Guide_to_Historical_Tablet.html?id=HD5-zQEACAAJ
Tablet-Woven Treasures - Archaeological Bands from the Finnish Iron Age: https://www.salakirjat.com/product/351/tablet-woven-treasures---archaeological-bands-from-the-finnish-iron-age?fbclid=IwAR0-_KtkhwohtPQIpPamA5X6z2ySv7BKn-XwAqwjRAxFbvXlm2vJ4g5t5-c
The Tablet-Woven Treasures book is especially exciting to me because it is from the same authors that wrote Applesies and Foxnoses - which, in my opinion, is one of the most helpful books for learning tablet-weaving technique! It helped me improve my weaving so much and it is still a resource I look to - I can't wait to see what new research these ladies have uncovered!!
I also really have enjoyed looking through A Simplified Guide to Historic Tablet (B Sæmundarson, D Sveinsdóttir). It is really nice to have the historical information/discussion along with patterns so you can understand the author's process. I am weaving a missed-hole band from the book currently:

| Vestrum band woven from the pattern provided in A Simplified Guide to Historic Tablet |
I love the look of the Vestrum band and hope to use it to embellish my hand-dyed wool dress in the future!
