Well Im imitating Norse period tablet woven patterns, though Im unsure if they'd match any archeological finds exactly since Im not trying to be super period accurate. The tunic and leg wraps are Norse as well, but Im not well versed on the historical accuracy of their cut/style.

Tablet weaving itself has been around for much longer, back to at least the 800s bc afaik so its not specific to any one culture, but im definitely trying to emulate a viking style of dress.

Nice, new mega right after I finish my latest project, perfect timing! As usual, spoiler just to keep the spam down:

::: spoiler belt time Heres the whole belt, its about 56in/1.4m in length, which is on the shorter side of my belts, but since I used some of the lenght to make trimmings for my tunic's cuffs it makes sense. It works fine as a belt as well, not too short or long.

Pattern close up

Heres the back, non-reversible unfortunately but thats not a big deal.

And here it is with my tunic. I love the way it matches with the trim, it works perfectly. It works better with the black tunic vs just the white one, but together they work best since the trim is on the white one. Most of my belts are going to be presents for Yule but I'm keeping this one for myself.

FTL is a classic. One of the best indie games of all time.

Bees!

::: spoiler sad stuff Last monday we had to say goodbye to my sweet old lady Lexi after almost 20 years. Every day I come home from work and I expect her to come up to me screaming for food or begging for pets and it hits me all over again.

Nope, sorry. I dont really know anyone else who weaves, Im not active in any circles I just work on my own. And as far as tablet weaves go I dont know of any stores on etsy that sell anything with pride themed patterns either.

There are a lot of pride themed patterns on https://twistedthreads.org/, like this one, or you can just modify the colors of a pattern you like, but tablet weaving is a lot of effort for something thats gonna be as small as a lanyard.

Thank you! Its one I've been working on for a while. I made two strips that I cut off from the rest of the warp a while ago and Im just now getting around to finishing the rest.

Sleepy

Call my dick

wow its really been 4 years. I remember when we were all on r/chapo making terrible bernie would have won jokes and yelling at neoliberals. Good times.

I guess I can see that. Still, I liked it.

::: spoiler spoiler I could not disagree less. There was a ton of tension after that lol. That scene literally sets the tone for the film, it makes it more tense. :::

And you would be wrong but thats ok

Its definitely the weakest between it, The Lighthouse and The Northman, but it was still really good. It was way better than I was expecting honestly.

Finally watched the VVitch

Eggars is too good man, how does he do it.

Sooo sleepy

Mfw if it doesnt have a tail its not a monkey if it doesnt have a tail its not a monkey its an ape

We can continue it in this thread, as is tradition

Hot Take: you can only be racist to humans.

Pitbull hysteria is rooted in racism against their human owners, not the Pitbulls themselves.

My specific argument is with you comparing differences in dog breeds to phrenology. I'm not saying that dogs of a specific breed are more aggressive; Im saying that comparing dog breeds on a morphological level is not the same as comparing human races on a morphological level. Phrenology is a pseudoscience specifically because human races do not vary morphologically, especially not in skull shape. You can easily measure a dog's skull to tell a Great Dane from a Chihuahua, which is why I used those breeds as an example.

Im sorry but can you not see how a Chihuahua and a Great Dane are physically different from one another? One can entirely fit into the others mouth. I'm not arguing that Pit hysteria isnt founded in racism, but the concept that dogs breeds cannot be any more different from each other than human "races" are is insane.

Your own sources above specifically state that different breeds are identifiable through genetic testing, idk exactly what else you want from me here.

You cant be racist against dogs

No it is not lmao. Dog breeds most certainly do have drastic morphological differences created by humans selectively breeding them for thousands of years.

Yeah this and this are absolutely more different from each other than a black person and a white person are from each other. Dogs have been selectively bred for ten thousand years, and they've been very specifically bred for different roles, literally changing their physical shape. Human beings have not, we're all pretty much the same. Unless you're going to argue that domestication and animal husbandry are fake then I do not see how this is equivalent to differences in melanin production.

That is true, Im not disputing that, but comparing the differences between dog breeds, which are wildly different morphologically, is not equivalent to phrenology and race science. Human races are not morphologically different from each other, race is a social construct.

You're saying that analyzing the behavior of different breeds is equivalent to phrenology, which implies that human "races" are as equivalently different from each other as dog breeds are, which is of course nonsense and racist.

did you just compare humans to dog breeds?

I am the Oxford Comma hater. I will never put a comma before and.

Gruesome Gavin save us

Hey @Parzivus@hexbear.net, responding to your message from the last thread:

I dont use a "real" loom for my work. I just cobbled together one from a couple of folding tables I strapped upsidedown to chairs then attached some cardboard rolls to hold up the warp.

Its not to big, certainly not the size of a giant loom youd see someone making rugs on. I can move the chairs away from each other to facilitate larger works

First part of my current weave is done! I made two little strips and turned them into trim for my tunic's sleeves. Took about half the length I loaded onto the loom so hopefully I have enough left for a full belt, maybe Ill just do a headband or something. Anyway they look fantastic:

Here are the strips before they were sewn on. Theyre both thirteen repeats of the pattern long, though one ended up a few millimeters shorter.

Here they are on my white under-tunic

Heres what it looks like with the black tunic on top. I really like this look, they work perfectly with the two combined.

Closer look

And heres the back. They were just long enough for the frayed edges to meet when finished so I just sewed up over them to hold them down and theyre perfect.

"This weft is woven

With entrails of men

The warp is weighted

With heads of the slain

Spears blood-stained

For spindles we use

Our loom ironbound

And arrows our reels

With swords for our shuttles

This war-weft we work

So weave weird sisters

Our warwinning weft"

New project!

Maybe the gamers are right about this one...
