Peter Collingwood's  "The Techniques of Tablet Weaving".  IMHO, it's the definitive book on tablet weaving.  I suspect one could spend a lifetime exploring all of the possibilities described there! And there's a complete history of the craft, too.

As everyone else - I agree, this book is invaluable - my copy is already very well worn!

I'm fascinated by brocading, and have just ordered Nancy Spies' two books on that subject.  (http://www.weavershand.com/ArelateStudio.html) I'm sure that'll be a challenge for me!

These are wonderful for the specifics of brocading, and historically, Anna Neuper's Modelbuch: Early Sixteenth-Century Patterns for Weaving Brocaded Bands

is particularly fascinating

I've been mainly a bobbin lacemaker for many years; I think tablet weaving is becoming another addiction.  <g>

Adrienne, could you email me privately ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - I'd like to ask you a couple of questions....
