This pattern was inspired by work done by Shelagh Lewins on a band from the Oseberg ship burial (buried in 834 CE).

It would make a great selvedge pattern as part of a larger band. This is an easy weave, as the tablet threadings produce the pattern so there's no need to make turning direction changes or keep count of…

Here's the first attempt at warping up my new Oseberg style tablet weaving loom. (See my board on Pinterest for pictures of Medieval illuminations of this style of loom: http://pinterest.com/lissamc/medieval-tablet-weaving-equipment/ ) Eric made both it and the cone yarn holder for me, which I used while I was measuring the warp.
