I am trying to figure out the treading for Placement #1 on page 10 of the handout. I have my treadles set up as Jane mentions where 1 is the 'a' tabby and 2 is the 'b' Tabby, 3 and 4 are Block A, and 5 and 6 are Block B.
Per the pattern, the first 10 picks are PW ( a-b-a-b-a-b-a-b-a-b). The last tabby is 'b'.
Block B is next and says to start on the 'b' tabby. Jane said that means the last tabby pick before I start Block B should be the 'b' tabby. That's what I've got, so I weave the B block 3 times (treadles with tabby would be 6-a-5-b-5-a-6-b, 6-a-5-b-5-a-6-b, 6-a-5-b-5-a-6-b). The last tabby is 'b'.
Then it says to weave the A Block starting on the 'a' tabby. That's where I'm confused. The last tabby pick prior to starting the A Block is the 'b' tabby. What do I do to get the A Block to start on the 'a' tabby? Am I just supposed to switch the last tabby before the A Block to the 'a' tabby (so there would be 2 'a' tabbies in a row)?
