Playing on HW.net
I was playing on handweaving.net this evening and came across this draft, #22075 all I did was change the color. I started to play with the draft too, but decided it was much easier than the draft I had. Added it here if anyone is looking for a holiday draft. With that, I am headed to the studio to wind my holiday warp. 2 years I have had these towels in the works. Similar to the attached draft little more difficult. Happy Weaving.

I figured you were going to be doing something so I thought I would offer up this since I found it by accident looking for something much more complicated. Kathy’s draft is what I am winding right now. She helped me make sure what I had done was good. lol (maybe she just sent me hers) but she made me feel good about all the work I had put into it and the arranging of colors. Please feel free to use it I think I put the number from HW.net in the original post. All I did was notice the barber pole effect and started coloring. I tried moving things around a little too, but did not work. Thank you I love the Academy.

Kathy,
That is the same one you helped me with last fall, I am actually in the process of winding my warp right now. I’m about half done. I was looking for something special on HW.net and came across this draft, so I doubled it made it a little larger in length, so it looked like something, and started playing with the colors. I was just having fun. I think I have seen something similar, but don’t remember. But wanted to share for the holidays. I have been off work all week and done a lot of weaving had to stop and play for a few minutes.
Happy weaving.

“stopping to play” is something the most productive thing you can do!
Keep playing, because you never know what variations you will come up with!

I found a draft somewhere a while back and I saved the only thing that says on it is iWeaveIt, and # of shaft, treadles, and warp and weft threads, It was interesting so I started playing with it. This is what I have so far. I have been using Fiberworks to work on it and it looks nothing like the original now. I took out and added. changed the treadling, Going to add some color and see what I come up with .

Sandy, I know you o ly started weaving a few years ago. I am stunned with what all you are doing!

Thank you, Joy, now if Fiberworks comes back online, so I can play more. Something about a power outage to the server and my program wants to upgrade so it will not run. Grrr. I may have to buy another program if it’s caput. Oh, the draft that Kathy posted is the one I am actually going to do. It’s a little more complicated but I worked so hard on it and Kathy gave me a hand last fall and I never did get to it, but the winding of warp is half done.
