I’m weaving double two-tie samples, working my way through some of the drafts in Heddlecraft vol 4 issue 4. The warp is on an Ashford Katie loom that I bought secondhand a few months ago. It’s such an easy loom to take to weaving group meetings, compact when folded up and easy to carry in its bag, no more folding down the back seat of the car to fit my loom in.

Even though I am just following a draft, I have managed to make silly mistakes twice so far. Does anyone else keep weaving even though the sample does not look like the photo by convincing yourself that somehow it will look alright once it’s washed? It wasn’t until I left my weaving and then came back and reread the draft that I realised my mistake.

Fingers crossed I have learnt my lesson and will pay more attention in the future.
