Today I started the warp for the Color and Weave Sampler (page 24) from the book, The Weaver's Idea Book, by Jane Patrick. The goal is to show how you can create different patterns with colored thread in a plain weave. You warp the thread across for each of the Blocks; then, weave the weft in the same order.
- Block 1 -- 20 ends Light.
- Block 2 -- [ 1 Dark, 1 Light ] 10 times - 20 ends.
- Block 3 -- [ 2 Dark, 2 Light ] 5 times - 20 ends.
- Block 4 - [ 1 Dark, 2 Light ] 7 times - 21 ends.
- Block 5 - [ 1 Dark, 3 Light ] 5 times -20 ends.
Blocks 1, 2, and 3 end with a thread in the eye, as I have always done. I am confused by the Slot-Eye sequence at the transition between Block 4 and 5. Block 4 ends with the last Light thread in a slot. The first thread in Block 5 would be in the eye, and it's last thread in a slot. I have never started a block in an eye nor ended on a slot. Does it seem okay? Have you done this type warping sequence before?
