I found this pattern in Handwoven and used it to make a towel for a friend. I have enough warp to make another one for myself which will be with a light green cotton, also 8/2.
I like the feel and heft of this and think it will be even nicer after a few washings. Even though I counted the warp thread numerous times, I ended up with too many. Those extra ones must sneak in at night when I'm not watching.
Nothing shows up an error like taking a picture after you are done weaving. So...it's not an error, it's a design feature which I probably will not use for the next towel.

I love your last line-I will have to remember that one, when someone says "Why did you do that?" I do my towels in long warps, and my "design features" wind up in my kitchen!!
by the way this is a great towel and gets better with age. You can see lots of towels here: www.handweaver.us
