I'm going to post it next week along with the draft I did on my computer program by plugging in the info from the book. I'm glad to have met another CW member.<BR/><BR/>Eva StosselAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904270845559593827.post-13356643037157758782009-03-11T10:25:00.000-07:002009-03-11T10:25:00.000-07:00Eva, thank you for visiting my blog.

It's true that Powell's book is difficult to figure out but once you do you can plug the info into your weaving program and it really makes it easier to see what it will look like and to set up your loom. Also, I've been studying the connection between Log Cabin and Shadow Weave.

But when it comes to putting together and visualizing in 3 dimensions what is actually happen when you press a treadle with a particular tie-down, I have been absolutely clueless. Well, I do know what is happening. But knowing, on the one hand, and visualizing and understanding in 3-dimensions, on the other, is very difficult for me. But I am getting there!Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904270845559593827.post-55392535955360971032009-01-23T20:42:00.000-08:002009-01-23T20:42:00.000-08:00Ah, it looks much better.

My home weaving is on a dobby loom. Although I've read a lot about tie-up, my practical experience is effectively all lift-plan. My hope is that it's one less thing I have to think about (helpful when there's _so_ much to learn), but I wonder if the future holds a sting in the tail when I have to face this.<BR/>Glad you found your solution.<BR/>JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
