Good news! The more I weave, the more I like these towels!
They play tricks on your eyes. Sometimes you can't always see a pinwheel, but if you look at it differently, like closer or further away, you can see them. They kind of pop out after awhile! It's pretty neat. And colorful! I have to admit, I like the original pattern I saw more, but this isn't bad for just using what I had on hand. I'm not one to go out and buy a bunch of yarns for a project... right now anyway. Maybe someday!
Also, it's good to note that the original design was woven in a slightly different pinwheel pattern. Once I finish this particular pattern, I might try the same pattern my friend tried. It might make all the difference and I might be even closer to matching it. Also, the original design weft followed the same warp color order.... which also might make a difference, but that's an awful lot of thought to put towards it. I'm kind of enjoying this "winging it" thing. But, if I don't follow the "rules" then I can't complain, right?
But for now, I'm certainly enjoying these towels
in this pattern and these colors!
