I found the same online

I found the same online pattern and enjoyed weaving it. It looks way more complicated than it is!

Agreed! i panicked when i started but by about half an hour in i was barely thinking about it. Its a nice effect for something so simple

I love your band! Where online did you find the pattern? I'd like to try it on a backstrap loom. Thanks!

i found it

i found it here

http://curiousweaver.id.au/archives/196

personally I found it came out more balanced with an equal number of background threads each side of the end pattern threads. The page its on suggest 2 extra on the left side which i couldnt get on with. 

The thing i love about it is that it works up quite quickly and seems more complex than it is. all my friends look at it and think im some kind of weaving prodigy. thank god I hide most of my projects!

Thanks!

Thank you for the link! I agree centering it would look more balanced.
