Notes

Using the draft, but not the project, as I am making dish towels.

Three minor threading errors (correct heddles, wrong order); easily fixed.

Using the Brassard 8/2 cottolin held double for the pattern weft.

Having better luck with the two bobbin shuttle on this project.

Small oversight (should have treadled 1 2 3 4 twice before and after the center part of the pattern). Can either continue in the same manner and fix in the next towel, or change it up. I’ll decide on Monday.

Did not like the way the draft called for weaving the part in between the dots - single thickness pattern weft, no tabby weft. Went to weaving the whole thing as overshot; looks MUCH better! (This is going to be one odd looking dish towel)
