Well, not quite in a flash, but still fairly quick. Once it was warped up, all went smoothly. Warping didn't take all that long, either, considering that there were 27 tablets.
The photo above is unblocked.
The band is about 1-1/8" wide (30mm) and about 63" long (160 cm). It is indeed reversible -- the photo shows both sides of the band.
I enjoyed making this and should keep it in my repertoire for future commissions. It's a very easy pattern that looks more complicated than it is.
As I wrote in my previous post, this is the Flash pattern by Catherine Weaver, from her blog: https://www.tabletweavingintheoryandpractice.co.uk/2024/06/flash.html. Her version is 17 tablets, but I adapted it to be wider by adding 10 more tablets to get another set of 2 pattern motif stripes. (each stripe is 5 tablets wide, and the stripes alternate twist directions and colors and zigzag placement.)
The color contrast is not quite strong enough but the colors do go well together.
This is the first band I've done in several months. And, alas, the first one done since the household's most helpful (not) feline weaving assistant passed away last September. The other feline weaving assistants are not as spry as they used to be and had some trouble getting to the weaving area. The band is not completely covered in cat hair, and I didn't have a ton of feline assistance that needed to be undone. It's bittersweet to not need to fend off cats and pick off fluffs of cat fur while warping and weaving. They did keep me company, at least, even if they didn't sit on the warp.
Dunno what's next. I guess I'll find out when it happens. There are things I want to do, but real life takes precedence and there are other things going on that are higher priority for now. Darn it.
