Here are two 2/2 twill patterns demonstrating how a very small change in weaving order can have a dramatic design impact.
Working out a twill pattern for Rick Rack was a struggle. Inspired by Cross Breeze, it took us many repeated tries to get the weave right, with even twills and a minimum of over-three floats. Matthew drew nine different charts, with Piglet marking up proposed revisions, and cutting charts into pieces and taping them back together until we got something balanced.
In the process of getting to Rick Rack, Piglet wove Garden Path. There is one simple change of one 3-over float every other row between the two patterns. The design impact is very different. Rick Rack is visually more powerful, with its central zigzag echoing the other lines.
I love all of this and all of the variations
Thank you, Linda!
