I'm weaving both shawls in the kit and have started the basket weave shawl. As long as it is 2D2L all is well, but when it changes to 2D1L after 14 inches I'm wondering whether the effect should be syncopated. Do I complete the second pattern repeat with 1L1D and then go on to 1D1L with the next pick? Or am I overthinking this and the second pick should just always be light and one pass?
Thank you,
Joan Cotter
Hi Joan,
How did you make out with the design? The pattern is meant to go from 2D,2L (14”) to 2 threads of Suede, 2 threads of Tundra, 2 threads of Suede (1” in total) then you move to the 2D, 1L (for 14”) and so on. The image on the first page of the pattern shows the differences between 2D2L and 2D1L for warp 2. But you can definitely change things up and play with the design!
