Oh shit I found a behind the scenes pic of Anya wearing her belt, and the pattern is visible! Lfg

Time for another tablet weaving post This one is a 3/1 twill, like my Amleth belt, but the twilling on that one is harder to see so I wanted to make one that specifically displays this form of weave more. You can see the offset lines that make stark diagonals a lot better on this one.

The back is mirrored of course. I kinda wish I had swapped the black and white borders so that it would look like this on the front side, with the white triangle ending in the white border, makes it look more uniform and a bit nicer imo, but its fine.

Im speedrunning these things now lol. 55 inches after just just starting a day ago is pretty good, at this rate Ill have more belts than I know what to do with.

This pattern is really nice. Not very norse-y so its not my personal favorite, but for how easy it was to make its crazy good.

Show

The back is pretty neat, though I feel like Im just narrowly avoiding an accidental swastika here lol (those are a lot easier to accidentally make than you'd think)

Hey @booty@hexbear.net its weaving time again

Back on the grind with a much simpler pattern this time lol. Im really trying to churn a few more out before Christmas so I can give everyone in my family one.

Heres the pattern. Extremely simple pattern but the results are fantastic.

Idk about the specifics of coloring but this is supposed to be a slavic belt. In the movie Amleth raids a slavic town and later takes some of their clothes off a dead man to disguise himself as a slave, so this belt would also be slavic, not norse.

I really do wish we had a c/crafts or c/weaving or something. I suppose I could shove these into c/art but that community just feels like its got the wrong vibes. I might put some in c/paganism if I ever do a pattern with some religious significance. Ill try to remember to tag you when I post them in the mega tho.

Technically I suppose any sort of craft will count as "do it yourself" but c/DIY is more for home repair/fix it jobs than for artistic pieces. Id prefer something specifically more geared toward artistry

Thats not a bad idea. Even if they dont have the actual patterns themselves, if they have images of the belts or even the full costumes it would be enough for me to work backward from.

Im so happy with how it turned out lol. Figuring out a pattern by eye and then actually making it and having it work perfectly is such a satisfying process.

It definitely went a lot faster than my other projects. Partly thats because I felt a good deal of motivation, but also working with a longer pattern means that the work never got monotonous. By the time I began to repeat steps I'd be like 9 inches along the warp length which meant my progress was much more apparent than with a smaller 8 turn pattern.

Thank you! Im super proud of it lol

Thanks! And yea c/art just feels like its for digital-art/paintings/etc, something like c/crafts for physical works would be nice

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Its cool because its both based on Hamlet itself and the story that actually inspired Hamlet.
