On this page we explore what happens when we use a familiar pattern of the kivrim family and weave it in the vacant-hole technique. Kivrim images are familiar to most tablet weavers since they are shown on the cover of Peter Collingwood's book "The Techniques of Tablet Weaving".
In the vacant-hole technique only three of the four holes of a square tablet are threaded. The vacant-hole is then used to create a surface that resembles the plain weave structure.
The best exploration and tutorial of the vacant-hole technique are offered in the book "The Willful Pursuit of Complexity" by Kris Leet and Linda Malan. It also contains beautiful pictures.
