Yes! Darn it all anyway! I have mislaid the WIF file for the beginning of a working draft! I have looked everywhere. I have even looked at WIF files that I began with to see if I had written over one of them. No luck.The draft is a peculiar combination of the Blooming Leaf and Rippled Diamond.* These are drafts I have been playing with. The threading combines ideas of the two drafts. But I used a threading and tie-up I had developed working with straight draw crackle threadings. Without further ado, here we go.
First, the profile threading draft. Note that the separations indicate separate block groups that can be repeated as individual groups.
And here the draft, with three possible treadlings. The treadlings not my own idea. They come straight out of the Rippled Diamond draft in Davison.*
BUT……………………
I cannot find the WIF for the draft! In a way, it doesn’t matter because I am going to reverse the threading so that the slant in the outside blocks is down and the slant in the center block points up. But STILL…………WHERE IS THE DARN FILE?!?!
*I have not blogged about my trials with Rippled Diamond, but the original draft—a regular 4 shaft crackle-- can be found in Davison’s A Handweaver’s Pattern Book.

Maybe you will find it when you stop looking for it-silly thing is probably tucked in a fifferent file!
And it's probably an obvious file, to boot!
Peg, I just hate loosing files. I try to go over every logic pattern I might use in saving them...but they can remain lost at the worst time. Hope you find it soon. Kaz
Kaz, it really doesn't matter that much. I still have the profile threading and I can fairly easily re-create the draft should I want to. But it is SOOOO annoying!
