I have just finished Season 8 and was inspired to order the Ponyo Tea Towel pattern after watching the finale.
I ran into a problem on towel #3. In the simple PW stripe, the first picks of Black should be 5 not 4 as written.
I zoomed in on the pattern photo and it looks as if the first picks of Black were actually woven with 5 instead of 4. A small but visually important correction to balance out the width of the strips since the pattern A starts with a dark pick.
Hi Kay,
I think there’s a few ways of looking at this, bear with me!
The stripe should have 4 darks and starting on treadle 1, then 1.25” of a colour (ending on treadle 2) and then 4 Dark where you started these 4 darks on treadle 1 and end on treadle 2, so that you can start with Treadle 1 again for the next Block A (starting with a Dark, ending with a colour).
Looking at this, you could do 5 darks for your PW stripe but you have to start your A Block on treadle 2 with a colour. I hope this makes sense.
Thanks, Ginette. I do understand your explanation which is what the pattern says.
Still does not look right.
I uploaded a photo of my weaving through the ImgBB website, copied the code but that looks crazy too! Not a great day. haha

Again thanks for your help, Ginette. Perhaps it will look better after it is washed! Really not a major issue. Moving on to the rest of the lovely shadow weave tea towels.
Hi Kay, it will look a tad different in the wash. Enjoy weaving the rest of the warp. I just love all the colours in this pattern :)
