I really like these towels.  I have the Davison book, but I must have not paid attention to this draft....the towels are lovely.

I, too, have the Davison book and will have to look at this!  I love the finished product you have, and will read your blog for more insights about the process!

Thank you for sharing these!

Haven't found your blog so I'm curious: why were you not pleased with the first towels?

ok, found and read the blog explaining the problem of non-squaring corners. Did you solve it? I'm also interested in your idea to use overshot like this for towels. I always find it too firm and lacking flexibility for towels. ( I used to weave it for placemats, runners and for a few coverlets.) And I love Norse Kitchen as a pattern.

Seems to me that you'll have to resett or weave with an additional pattern pick or 2 to square. So what did you do?

Thanks, everyone, for the kind comments. On my blog I am explaining the problems I encountered with the "Norse Kitchen" draft. After I finish listing my complaints I'll let you know what I did and how it all came out.

Notes

This draft is "Norse Kitchen" from page 186 of "A Handweaver's Pattern Book" by Marguerite Porter Davison. I was not happy with the first few towels. Check my blog for more information.
