I do like this pattern. Obviously, since I make it a lot. This time it's teal on a gold background. The person wanted two matching bands of a particular length. So I did X repeats, put in a spacer, then did another X repeats. There was a bit of warp left over, so after the second spacer, I wove another few inches until I reached a reasonable stopping point.
I am not sure yet, but it kind of looks like my weaving was not absolutely consistent. The bands might be slightly different lengths. Rats. I'll see how it is after blocking. I can probably re-block it by pinning the two bands together in hopes that the slightly shorter one will stretch out just enough.
The smaller piece will end up being a bookmark or a keychain fob or something similar.
Why is my weaving not consistent? I need to get that figured out.
I'm making this as a gift, for someone who wants gold and teal. I might make a few more gold and teal doo-dads, and maybe even a band that is all teal. All are likely to be simple patterns I've made before.
I do want to dive back into trying new things and doing more complicated patterns. But for now, it's kind of fun to crank out these quick pieces. (But why is my weaving not consistent?)
