Card (or Tablet) Weaving, revisited
For many, varied, and sometimes silly reasons, I suffered from a rather long hiatus in my crafting progress.
On the downside, there were shelves full of unused materials.
On the plus side, now that I'm back at it, I'm rediscovering old friends.
Card Weaving - by Candace Crockett is one of them. Ms Crockett got me started with card weaving when I was first interested in it, and her clear style, lucid explanations, and neat illustrations provide a complete and thorough introduction into the craft.
It's a deceptively easy skill to learn, and like many old-fashioned and folk crafts, there are infinite layers to it. The combination of color and black-and-white sketches and photographs in Card Weaving make it not only a good instructional book, and a good beginner's introduction, but also a fun and pleasant reference to keep on your shelf even when you become proficient at tablet weaving.
