The draft is here.
I finished the 2nd towel and wanted to try another weave pattern. I decided on a different tie-up than I’d been using and scribbled in some squares in a pattern on some graph paper. I imagine in the million or so years that people have been weaving, someone has come up with this pattern so, in the words of Elizabeth Zimmermann, let’s just say I unvented it. It was fun to take it to the loom and see it form into this:
How much fun is that?! It looks nothing like the graph. You can see more of the graph here:
Another interesting thing is how my little threading error is more obvious in some weaves than in others. Remember when you all said you couldn’t see it? See it up there going up the middle of the fabric? Here, have a closer look:
It doesn’t bother me since it’s my very first piece but I will be much more careful in the future.
That’s your first time weaving? Wow – you’re doing great!!!
I like the design you unvented!

That’s quite a lovely design. I’m not sure I can see the error you mention. Remember – you’re just unventing AND adding design elements.
: )
Can’t wait to see the pictures from the farm
Very pretty. If I had to look that closely at my knitting to see a mistake, I would say it didn’t matter; hopefully that is true for weaving, too?
Beautiful ‘unvention’! Beautiful work! 🙂
They are looking good!
Man Jean, that’s so hard to see — you’re the only person who’s going to see it. If you’re going to make a mistake, that’s the best kind to have!
That’s awesome! What fiber are you using for the warp and weft?
love the design!, will you share the whole draft with us?
