Weaving website challenge: explain how to secure a warp in your beginner tablet weaving post without just saying “tie off the warp”

#while you're at it—define warp #people will spend paragraphs describing what cards look like and how to measure a warp and say ZILCH about how to attach it to something #well guess what?? cards with four holes are not that complicated! #how do i thread a warp? #i still have no idea! #haven't found a backstrap guide that's helpful yet because most resources are aimed at south american styles #and that seems a little more involved than what i'm doing #if i had weights i'd probably just start weighting it because that's conceptually simple #how do i add tension without getting these 32 strings all tangled up? #tis a mystery #anyways i'm literally going to tie it to some stuff and see if it works #and my rule of explaining anything beginner is always always always have a definitions section for jargon
