Episode 73: April 2020 (More or Less)
990 AD Salazar Slytherin
- Tablet weaving sampling
- Theloomybin.com
- 3 Strand Braid Pattern – didn’t work out
- Card Weaving by Candace Crockett
- Ram’s horn pattern – think I’m going to use for decorative trim at the neck of the tunic
- Empty slot pattern – possibly to be used for hose garters, but I need some practice with this technique (where not all the holes in the cards have yarn through them, so there should be a weft pattern showing)
- Combo narrow bands pattern – possibly for hem trim on the tunic or a belt, with some added columns – the pattern I wanted showed up on the “wrong” side? I’m going to try this again and reverse the threaded of the cards
- Simple alternating thread sample – another belt possibility or hose garter possibility – easy to weave and easy to keep even

- Started Critical Role, but these early episodes are rough. I’ve been spoiled by RQG and Critical Hit (back in the day when I listened to that) where the players were very focused on creating a good listening experience. I don’t know if it improves later, but there’s a lot of cross talking, side chat, etc which makes it hard to follow what’s happening.
