unweaving leads to better weaving. Ask me how I know?! And my husband points out with glee I get 2-3 times the amount of fun for my materials and time...

Notes

My daughter's best friend is a devoted Harry Potter fan.  She not only owns all the books and movies, but has recently visited Harry Potter World.  When she found out she was pregnant she wanted to decorate her nursery with a Harry Potter theme.  I, too, am a Harry Potter fan, so this was a labor of love.  I picked the colors because they represented Gryfindor, the house Harry belonged to.  I had initially picked several motifs to weave, but decided I was better off narrowing down my choices since this weave structure is very labor intensive.

I had set myself a goal of weaving an inch a week.  It seems I spent a LOT of time UN-weaving on some of those weeks.  I do believe I am now expert in un-weaving double weave.  I doubt I will ever attempt another project of this size, but it's nice to know that it can be done.
