The other day I posted an image of this band on my insta stories and got a lot of questions on how to weave on it. As I have been thinking of releasing an add-on to my Simple weave book with band patterns, I thought I’d give it a go, and offer it for sale in my webshop.
But then I thought of another idea. Since I did the raffle for civilian aid last month I’ve been thinking of something I could share with all people who stand up for the basic human rights of civilians, and not just a single raffle winner and this seems to be the perfect thing! A link to the pattern can be found at the bottom of this page.
So this is what I’ve done: I’ve posted the description on how to weave this pattern behind a password. The password used to be found in a confirmation Email you got when signing a petition for ceasefire in Palestine through Amnesty, but since the petition has expired I have just changed the password to “neveragainforanyone“, because if your outrage against genocide only concerns certain groups of people, frankly you can go weave some other band.
What am I getting here?
On the password protected page there is a description on how to weave bands patterned with stripes that go in a 90 degree angle against the background pattern. To read it you will need to be familiar with band weaving already. If you are not, I have written an extensive guide in my book “Simple weave“, available in the webshop, and there’s a quick walkthrough in the highlights on my instagram. It’s named “Band weaving“.
I think you are wrong in doing this and I’m gonna tell you exactly why!
If you want to put energy into writing me hate filled messages because you don’t agree with me I can’t stop you. But I would suggest you take that energy and use it for something productive. Maybe you can design a band that has a theme of the cause you want to shine a light on, and then publish it on your own website?
