I have written here about the difficulties in filling in the Complex Weavers form for their 40th birthday. I said a double weave Biederwand but have spent hours on it and every time, when I got to a final draft, I had to say 'That won't work' and discard it. Yesterday I set to, starting with Fibreworks and drafting the two fabrics. I then drew the two outlines on graph paper, cut out the two bits and shuffled them about, in the process learning a great deal about what would work and what would not.
I then had a better idea. I printed out both drafts on the same scale and scanned them into Photoshop. Then I pulled and pushed and reorganised.
In this picture, Fabric 1 is white and black and Fabric 2 is white and red but I think Fabric 2 will have a space dyed warp. However, this will work.
I walked by the canal yesterday which was frozen solid, a two inch coating of ice everywhere. Even in deep enough puddles.
