Someone asked about my "graphs" I posted about 8 harness boundweave. I will try to explain with this photo.

The graphs posted are merely diagrams to show you were to put certain colors to show on top of the weaving and where to bury those colors behind other threads to make certain figures. If you already know how to weave Boundweave, these graphs are very helpful for creative ideas I am sharing, and make perfect sense.

You might really need to read a book or take a lesson on Boundweave to understand. (like learning Overshot, Blocks, Shaftwswitching etc.)
