<p>I'm showing this with the "simplified" treddling, and I have 18 treddles so I used them all.&nbsp;&nbsp; But you can get the same effect with 8 treddles by treddling just as it is threaded.&nbsp;&nbsp; Note that, because the pattern is very subtle it needs to have a sett of at least 30/inch.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you go with too few threads per inch, you won't be able to see the pattern at all!</p><p>For the octal computer codes - A is 101, B is 102, etc. up to Z as 132.&nbsp;&nbsp; That's a lot of 1s, so I first subtracted 100 from all the codes.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then, because octal numbers are 0 to 7 and my weaving program numbers the harnesses 1 to 8, I added 1 to each individual digit.&nbsp;&nbsp; That resulted in representing A by 12, B by 13,&nbsp; etc. to Z as 43.&nbsp;&nbsp; So the whole word of 4 letters is represented by 8 threads.&nbsp;&nbsp; From there I<br />
turned it into a twill, resulting in a 64 thread pattern.</p><p>If anyone wants to see the whole alphabet, just let me know and I'll post that!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
