In this version, the pattern tablets that are in the / orientation are threaded in AC while the ones in the \ orientation are threaded in BD. Everything else is the same as the previous two bands -- 16 tablets (2 4-threaded edge tablets per side plus 12 2-threaded pattern tablets in the middle), alternating / and \ tablet orientations, same medium brown carpet warp and caramel brown doily leftovers cotton.
I like this one, too.
All three are pretty much the same dimensions -- 5/8" wide (roughly 17mm) and close to 65" long, give or take a bit, depending on how ambitious I felt about squishing in that last half-inch or so of weaving.
I like the different textures from such a seemingly minor variation in how the 2-threaded tablets were arranged. My least favorite is the ribbed weave but even that one is nice and would make a good background for further embellishment.
I'm wondering about some of the pack-idling monochrome belt patterns that Grace Crowfoot described. Could some of them have been brick-patterned 2-hole patterns instead? (I suppose that's easy to determine by counting the number of threads dangling from the ends.)
I think I'm temporarily tapped out on medium brown brick-patterned belts/bands. The next one will be a different color, at least. Chances are I'll start playing with some of the 4-threaded monochrome belt pattern variations. Those will end up wider and thicker, too. Or maybe I'll flip back to fun color patterns, whether from historic or modern bands.
