Overshot, with its fantastical names and wonderful patterning, is a great structure for 4-shaft weavers.

The Snowball Runner pattern explores overshot woven as two table runners, one in Star Fashion and one in Rose Fashion.

I've been playing with the draft/color editor at handweaving.net Here's one in turned twill
Basic 4 colour drawdown I have finished the design for the next piece - 70cm x 70cm panel. The design is called 'A Sea of Smiles' and is based on a drawing of smiling lips I made in Photoshop. It's going to be the decorative 3-part, centre piece wall hanging for the new studio room using the basic design, it's lift plan inversion and the inversion with an additional high-contrast weft colour to highlight a row of 'smiles' It's inversion with the contrast colour Its a 24 shaft echo 2 double weave. The design line generated in Photoshop was networked to create the parallel threading - i.e echo 2 with an interval of 12. Warp is Plum and White whilst weft is Black with White Gold. All in 8/2 Tencel,840 ends @ 13epcm. Though designed on 24 shafts, ends 95-167 (which represents the second block from the right, a block using only shafts 1-4) are actually threaded onto shafts 25-28 and assigned their48 treadle tie up plus an extra 4 treadles of 3/1 twill. This allows me to choose to weave a third layer, using just this block, in a fourth weft colour - it produces a quasi-overshot block. The placing of this block will make one single focus point in the design (the weaving software doesn't allow me to show this) Options for overall colour scheme. Black with Burgundy and below it Black with Moss Green.
There are a few critical milestones that a weaver may cross that makes an enormous difference. Understanding blocks is one of them. Once a weaver understands the fundamentals of blocks, a whole new world opens up. Blocks can form the fundamental components of a design. By understanding the blocks for a weave structure, this information…

Decided on the draft for the first warp on my new loom: Here it is in the first few inches of weaving: In one week, the old loom was dismantled and sent on its way, the boxes containing the new...
There was a bit of warp left over after I finished two table runners on the Wandering Vine (also known as Snail Trail and Cat's Paw) pattern, so I created these variations. I've written before that I sometimes purposely add extra warp to try new techniques and this was the case here! I really enjo
