Variations On A Sheep

Day 115: If you are getting tired of sheep, I am not. In fact, there's another version currently on the bonker loom, and threads set out to measure for even another. They are just so much fun to weave! Of course that could be said for any krokbragd design because the action would be identical. The pattern is determined by the colours of the warp. As I've explained before, krokbragd designs can be likened to drawing a recognizable picture with a nine-pin printer, and although the patterns can be wider across the band, they are limited to four passes on the length. To further complicate matters, two of those passes have to be identical and separated by one of the other two (here, that's the sheep's legs). Let's call the legs "1." 1 repeats twice, alternating in the four-throw sequence 1-2-1-3. As you can guess, there's not a whole lot of creative latitude there. I've used lengths from some of these rolls already to make custom canvas shop...sheeping bags. Sheep! You gotta love 'em!
