I'll have to take a picture of my band thus far. It was quite a bit of "wha?", ALOT of "#$^*@@!!", and finally a small "oh."
I really like the faster warping system. No more finding out you misthreaded something part way through your work.
It's a bit of mental exercise though, keeping track of what color is "up", which way to turn which card, and what row you're on (especially if you've only got one repeat of the chart mapped out.) Currently, I've got the pattern memorized as (for example) "next row: two (and the edge) forward, one back, one forward, one back, one forward, two (and the edge) back." etc. This is a problem if I've made a mistake on the turning of one card. If one of the top two colors is the color "up", I can't tell if I turned it the wrong way until i continue weaving. ^^; I'll figure it out.
I'm really looking forward to teaching myself how to use 's' and 'z' threading to spell out letters as in that south German belt (I'll get a picture.)
