Hello all and sorry for the lack of July award cord.

The August cord is that unicorn of documentable tablet woven bands: a threaded in four-forward four-back pattern.  Well, almost.  The blue tablets at the edge of the band rotate consistently in the same direction.

Rather than rehash the details here I will instead point you to the excellent article written by  Maikki Karisto and Mervi Pasanen who reconstructed the band.

If you are willing to contribute an award cord article for September, please let me know.
