Tablet woven band, pattern found on Babette's Webseite http://www.b-oberholz.de/editor/index.php. 12 cards, continuous warp method (orange in AB, blue-violet in CD). Finished size 0.5" (1.25 cm) by 22" (56 cm), including fring. 19" (48.5cm) woven length. My second tablet woven band.
Very difficult to photograph these strongly contrasting colors accurately, but it's a very striking band. There are some variations on this flame pattern on Babette's site.
One or two wonky areas- the crochet cotton size 10 has a pretty hard twist, and the right side where the S-Z twist goes against it's grain it tended to kink up a bit- I have one or two loose loops at the beginning before I started to be very careful about pulling the weft taut on the next shed to lock into place.
Also new to tablet/card weaving and will attempt one of the designs from this site. Your band is really lovely and I particularly like the way the color extends and wraps around the selvedages. Hopefully will be able to use Google Translate for instructions but if you have any pearls of wisdom to add please pass them along.

Lovely band! I do like the movement/curve of the pattern.

latinlatitudes,
I used Google translate for Babette's ,web site and think I managed to figure things out OK, except that where she has S and Z at the bottom I had to reverse them for threading my cards. (at least for my understanding). White background squares mean turn forward, and grey background squares mean turn backward.
With thanks for the additional information and helpful advice. Happy weaving.
