Ladoga Pattern
November 2022
Materials: Sashiko thread
Tools: 12 weaving cards
Length: ~ 63 cm (25 in)
Width: 11 mm (0.43 in)
Continuing to weave along with Elewys, I tried another simple pattern -
this one from a Norse settlement near Lake Ladoga dated to the 10th-12th
century. As you can see, I complicated my backstrap setup somewhat to allow for more length - now incorporating some C clamps and a dumbbell. I was starting to get a better feel for thread tension on this piece, so it came out much nicer and more regular-looking than my first attempt. The pattern itself was once again dead simple - border cards turn forever forwards, middle cards switch direction every 12 turns.
