It looks like she meant First Nations weaving... The colours and pattern of the red white and grey looks salish though and she mentions the Iroquois Nation as she uses their lightning bolt pattern. Not a fan of the name either as it causes confusion for which "indian" they̓re referring to...
Thank you very much for your tutorial!! I really appreciate it, I love that you wrote the instructions, they are very clear!! I am also glad there was no disturbing music to distract.... keep it up. I will look forward for more of your tutorials!!!
Thanks for the detailed tutorial. You make it all look very simple. Am crocheting a Wayuu style bag and am planning to use your technique to make the strap. Wish me luck, please.
I can’t really follow along with the video at all, did you learn this from someone or is there a book you would recommend to show exactly step by step how to do the various patterns??? I’ve been making sashes for about half a year now and can only do two patterns so would love to branch out
I might have understood what was taking place if there was some verbal sound. Just seeing it in what appeared to me as high speed was too hard for me to keep up with. :(
It depends. Each pattern has different complexities that make the time vary. A Chevron pattern doesn't take as long as a lightning or arrowhead pattern, since it's simpler. Usually it takes me around 6-10 hours total for simple patterns.
Your videos are helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you. How do we know what length to cut the threads at the starting. I'm wanting to do belts and straps for bags
It depends on the pattern and the length/ width of the piece you are doing. As a rule of thumb I tend to cut extra length of around 12 inches or so. Wider patterns require longer yarn because as you weave across more length is used up. Thinner pieces should be okay with the extra 12 inches.
It's a great video, but could have used different angles with voice sound in explaining what you are doing, and not going so fast. Looks great but it does not help me learn .
Diagonal: under ~ over ~ all across for one row ~ and then over ~ under ~ all across for second row ~ and just keep repeating after you cross the right ends ~ have I understood right?
Yes. For the simple patterns like diagonal, chevron, and diamond, that is the case. When you reach the end of the row, if your weft is going over the last thread of warp then you just pull the previous weft overtop it. If it is going under the last thread of warp then the previous weft goes under.
Could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE upload a more detailed video on the lightning bolt design? That's the most popular design around here and I have so many color combos I'd love to try out on it. But anyway, thank you for this video! I've been trying to learn this forever! NOBODY wants to share the information that you have generously decided to share. And I'm not just trying to kiss your ass for a lightning design video. I watched this and have already whipped out 2 chevron belts this week!
Oh, sorry, I thought you were the uploader. But do you know the cheveron pattern? How much experience do you have in weaving? Because it's kind of hard to explain but so simple once you figure it out.
Oh my gosh! I am so sorry for not responding! I've had a crazy time trying to finish my senior year of college! In response to your question, Triston, The chevron is simple. Once you have your piece set up with the colors where you want them, you weave from the middle outward, The middle threads replace the ones on the outside of the weave, creating a V shape all the way down, and a diamond in the middle (if that's how you started your piece). Hope this helps! I plan on cranking out full tutorials next year! :)
So sorry for not responding! School has been crazy! The lightning bolt pattern is pretty easy. A quick way to learn it is to set up a small belt of 24 threads, 8 threads per color bar. Weaving from left to right, go to the 6th thread of the next color bar, interlock it, leave it in place of the 6th thread, and continue weaving with the new thread until you reach the 6th thread of the next color. Interlock, switch, and continue weaving until the end. Repeat this process, only you to go the 5th thread of each color, then the 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st. You'll find that after you do your 6th pass, that all your colors will be back in solid bars, then you repeat the process and start at the 6th thread again. Hope this helps, I plan on uploading in-depth tutorials next year. :)
muy rapido means too fast. If your camera person would video you at more than one angle and if you would slow down it would help me. Otherwise I love your video. Keep going, you're doing great.
I enjoyed watching your video here, and am looking forward to your in depth tutorials. Do you know how to do the French Canadian technique where both ends are anchored? I've been looking for a decent demonstration of that. Thanks! Keep on weaving!
I do not know that method. The kind of weaving I use was common from the Great Lakes area down into Kentucky, West Virginia, and Tennessee. There are some advanced patterns that I know that are French Canadian in descent, but they do not require being tied at both ends. . . I did a little bit of looking around though, and found this video about tablet weaving. Hopefully this is what you're looking for. ua-cam.com/video/qGaXrxL_8o4/v-deo.html
Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, I wasn't looking for tablet weaving. Interesting, though. Have you seen the DVD "Finger Weaving: Keeping With Tradition"? If you haven't, try to get your hands on it. They explain and demonstrate all the patterns clearly. What are you working on, besides school?
I have not seen that dvd, but i'll be sure to look it up. I learned how to weave from instructional books that my mom gave me when I was around 11 years old. When I actually do have free time, I have a small Assomption sash that I work on. It's about halfway done. :)
I have a copy. It's very thorough and they explain the different patterns well. They do diagonal, chevron, half lightning (sawtooth), lightning and arrowhead. Check it out: www.lilrainllc.com. Jorja Calico, one of the weavers on the DVD, is a Western Cherokee from Oklahoma, and her friend Sharon Ensminger, is from Tennessee. I'm looking to order another DVD from the Gabriel Dumont Institute up in Canada, and can give a quick review when I see it.
i am an algerian girl i dont understand the english language vert well but you're maising i learn it very well can you do another vidéo like that please
There is no sound. This was a school project and I did not have time to add it. Newer videos will have sound, and focus on just one pattern at a time. :)
I want to use this technique to make a handle for a bag. How do I know how long to cut my string to achieve the overall length I want? Is there an equation like 2:1 that I can use? Also would love some more tutorials.
Hello! Sorry for not getting back with you sooner. As far as I know, there isn't a set equation for how long you should cut your yarn. As a rule of thumb, I tend to cut at least twelve inches more per half the length I need. I actually tend to eyeball how much yarn I need and then trim off any excess that I have. Better to have too much than too little. Hope this helps, :)
Ive basically taught myself the first weave you show but im having a problem with the left side getting tighter and making it kind of lopsided. I am putting a woven peice on a dream catcher i made because i figured it would be the easiest to learn on but any suggestions on how to fix the left side being tighter?
To be perfectly honest, that is a problem that I still struggle with. The best I can tell you is not to pull on your weft thread (the one you weave from left to right) too tight. Sometimes you do need to make adjustments and your weave will often angle down more to the right than to the left when you weave from left to right. It's a normal thing that occurs with this pattern and can be frustrating to someone with o.c.d (like me, lol). An even weave comes with practice. So just keep working at it and you'll find what works best for you. Thanks for watching my video, and I hope this helps!
The way I do it is to keep the weaving piece attached to a chair loosely so that I can turn the piece over. In all my 20 years of doing it, this is the only way I've found to keep both sides even.
+MsOscara When I finish my senior year of college and actually have the time to do it, I'll be making more in-depth videos about weaving. They will have audio instead of text graphics. My camera at the time had good visuals, but not a very good microphone. I had to make sure there was plenty of time for people to read what was put down. Thanks for your criticism though, it will help me when I make the future vids. :)
MsOscara I totally agree with you. why make the video of you can't make a quality top of the line video. and if a person doesn't have the time then don't do it at all, till you do have the time. Man, seems simple to me.
Well she doesn't owe you anything, and you didn't pay her to make this video, she decided to do so and you decided to watch, if you don't like it just close it instead of making someone feel bad for having taking the time to do what they could with their actual means. What a selfish mentality, seriously
Agreed. If i wanted to R E A D the instructions i would have just downloaded a book rather than pulling up a VIDEO tutorial. I've read comments and now commented myself and the obnoxious slide show is still going so i am about to click off here and find a tutorial worth watching
Почему НЕТ уроков по вязанию ремней для мочилы,НА РУССКОМ языке!? Люди в РОССИИ тоже хотят и ценят такую КРАСОТУ. Пожалуйста!!!!!!!!!!!! Хоть кто нибудь сделайте такие уроки на русском!
I'm using an online translator to write this response. I'm from the United States, so I'm sorry, I don't know Russian. I think you can set the subtitles to translate to Russian though. It works for Spanish. This video in particular doesn't have any speaking parts. But I think it might work on my live-streams if you are still interested in learning. Я использую онлайн-переводчик, чтобы написать этот ответ. Я из Соединенных Штатов, так что извините,я не знаю русского. Я думаю, вы можете установить субтитры для перевода на русский язык. Это работает на испанском языке. Это видео, в частности, не говоря части. Но я думаю, что это может сработать на моих живых потоках, если вы все еще заинтересованы в обучении.
I'm sure your technique is good but it starts out so painfully slow and no sound just didn't do it for me I had to stop watching. You need some sound and explain what you're doing. It would help hold someone's attention.
+David Riley Does the 60 inches include a fringe? If so, it depends on how long you want the fringe. If the woven part of the belt is 60 inches total, I would give at least an extra 12 inches per 30 inches in woven length, just to stay on the safe side. You can then weave to your desired length and fringe the rest of the yarn. A lot also depends on your thread count and how wide your belt is going to be, as most of the yarn is taken up when you are weaving across. Overall, it's better to measure out yarn that is too long than too short, so don't worry about overdoing it, as you can always fringe or trim off the excess. Hope this helps, :)
Wonderful tutorial!
Thank you for taking your time and for the slow beginner friendly speed
💜☮️🙏🏼💜
this video was very clear and helped me figure out wear i was stuck thank you ♥
I wasn't aware people in India were weavers.. thanks for enlightening me beautiful work
It looks like she meant First Nations weaving... The colours and pattern of the red white and grey looks salish though and she mentions the Iroquois Nation as she uses their lightning bolt pattern. Not a fan of the name either as it causes confusion for which "indian" they̓re referring to...
I have a book irl from the 70s that teaches this, i'm glad i found a lesson online for a friend of mine on discord so she can see how I do this.
Thank you very much for your tutorial!! I really appreciate it, I love that you wrote the instructions, they are very clear!! I am also glad there was no disturbing music to distract.... keep it up. I will look forward for more of your tutorials!!!
Excellent instruction, but I would've preferred a little sound.
How would I go about weaving an otter trail with finger weaving?
Thanks for the detailed tutorial. You make it all look very simple. Am crocheting a Wayuu style bag and am planning to use your technique to make the strap. Wish me luck, please.
Hi, what is the ratio of length of yarn to length of the finished product.
I can’t really follow along with the video at all, did you learn this from someone or is there a book you would recommend to show exactly step by step how to do the various patterns??? I’ve been making sashes for about half a year now and can only do two patterns so would love to branch out
How beautiful! Never thought of weaving like this.. Very nice video. Tnx!!
Is there no sound?
I might have understood what was taking place if there was some verbal sound. Just seeing it in what appeared to me as high speed was too hard for me to keep up with. :(
Dawna Morgan i totally agree. I would really have loved to learn this and was so happy to find this video. But i had no clue what she was doing 😕
Glad to ow my sound wasn’t broken. Yes a little verbal explanation would be helpful.
and not a very good view at that
Have you got tutorials from start to finish please and thanks for your videos
She does regular livestreams here on youtube working on her many different projects. Check out the Flame-pattern sash she's been working on lately!
awesome video, attacking a project like this later this week!
Thank you! And good luck on your project!
Where’s the audio?
I've tried watching in slow motion....I still can't make out the process. Would be better if there were an explanation with voice.
Just curious how long does it take to make this belt?
It depends. Each pattern has different complexities that make the time vary. A Chevron pattern doesn't take as long as a lightning or arrowhead pattern, since it's simpler. Usually it takes me around 6-10 hours total for simple patterns.
this is very informative...
thank you very much
rather preferred this than macrame to work on some braided bracelets...
lots of love from philippines

thank you for sharing this ♡ it was very helpfull to me and im gonna make an attempt at it later today :-D
I don't understand what or how you are weaving from left to right...it's too fast
On the Chevron ~ with no words/sound ~it’s hard to know about colour change ~ and you did not show order of threads for each pattern?
No sound today
if doing a belt how long would you want the starting of the yarn before weaving. if the belt finished is to be 60 inches
where is the sound ,the powerpoint does make it difficult
There is no sound. This was a school project and I did not have time to add it. Newer videos will have sound, and focus on just one pattern at a time. :)
I was hoping my phone wasn’t broken, No one should make a tutorial without sound..
She explained that this was an assignment for university!
7:50 thank me later

I want to use this technique to make a handle for a bag. How do I know how long to cut my string to achieve the overall length I want? Is there an equation like 2:1 that I can use? Also would love some more tutorials.

If you want good work, you have to learn the finer and dull points. There is no fast track or shortcuts to perfection.

Your answer went straight over my head ~ I’m a newbie to this and do not understand ~ how far apart do I but the two chairs?
