These are simple tablet woven bands, done with a pattern threaded in to the 8 cards.
I say these, plural, because while they are the same pattern one band is 6mm wide and the other is 3mm. So tiny!! I can't wait to see how close I can reproduce them. I used the tablet weaving designer at https://jamespbarrett.github.io/tabletweave/ to make sure my thoughts of how to pattern it were correct; for example which threads are S and Z twist, colors, etc. Hey, guess what? I got it on the first try, and made sure to check with the pattern repeats. Taa-Daa! Now, putting it in to action... At 10 mm wide this band is too wide for my specifics of a recreation. This is due to 2 extra border cards not in the original band, tension.& possibly also yarn size.
I patterned this one off of a recreation I saw that Mervi Pasanen posted in a FB group. I knew it had 2 extra border cards, but since she is an expert, I thought it was a good place to start and try my pattern theory. But I decided I wanted it more precise.
Plaited tassel ends and Bronze coilsTo finish these sock garters, the end of the bands were found to have plaited tassels and bronze coils.
Aug 7, 22 I have a migraine and will finish the rest of this descriptions at a later time. These tassels are really cool. the create tubes! I totally want to dish on these when I can read what I am typing. oopsiesaug 7, 22 I made an oops when switching for moving the band/ changing tension and I will expand on this more once the migraine is gone.
