I decided that I needed a piece with all of the patterns that I have woven from this warp for reference.
Hemstitch (2 picks plainweave) – light green
Plainweave – 5 rows light green
– 5 rows white
– 5 rows cream
– 5 rows grey
– 5 rows black
Extended zigzag – 1 repetition black
Basketweave – 3 repetitions dark green
Pinwheel – ~2cm black
Basketweave – 3 repetitions light blue
Mixed twill – 3 repetitions black
Basketweave – 3 repetitions blue
Broken twill – ~3cm black
Basketweave – 3 repetitions denim blue

This was all of the patterns I had woven so far. But I have been watching Season 4 of the Jane Stafford weaving videos – “Twills on 4 shafts”, so I decided to incorporate some of the treadlings from these episodes. I also learned how to make a clean edge transition from pattern to basketweave and back, so some of the basketweave sections have 2.5-3.5 repetitions in order to achieve this.
I began with some from the Small threadings gamp (STG) and then the Point twill gamp (PTG):
#1 STG Tromp as writ (TAW)(1234 – straight) – 3 repetitions black
#1 STG rose fashion (ie inverted)(4321) – 3 repetitions black
Basketweave – 3.5 repetitions purple
#2 STG TAW (1234321 – Point twill) – 2 repetitions black
#2 STG rose fashion (1234321) – 2 repetitions black
Basketweave 3 repetitions pink
#3 STG TAW (123412432143 – Herringbone) – 2 repetitions black
Basketweave – 3 repetitions red
#4 STG TAW (1234321234 – Wall of Troy) – 2 repetitions black
Basketweave – 3 repetitions brown
#6 STG TAW (14324123 – Herringbone) – 2 repetitions black
Basketweave – 3 repetitions orange
#3 PTG TAW (12341214321 – Point twill) – 2 repetitions black
Basketweave – 2.5 repetitions yellow
#5 PTG TAW (123412343214321 – Point twill)- 1 repetition black
Hemstitch (2 picks plainweave) – light green

I had originally planned to weave more of the patterns from these games, but have discovered that they all end up being a zigzag on the straight draw threading, so I ended the piece.
From watching the videos, I learned to think about weaving a shape rather than a sequence of numbers; to look at the treadling and see the shape it would create. This makes it much easier to see where you are up to in the pattern. These videos are really helping me understand what I am doing and why – this leads to less reliance on a pattern and more fun playing at the loom!

Weaving the black sections was very slow as I decided to use the lengths of black that were the warps left from Project 12. I had knotted these into a single length and wound them into a ball. So as I was weaving, there was a knot to be removed every ~2m. I joined the ends by ply-splicing – time-consuming, but barely noticeable.
