So... I've made 3 changes to this warp, I know it's not very scientific but whatever! It seems to have worked out just fine. I've changed the color to magenta, the size of the thread to that of the warp, and changed the way I treadled it to a 1-2-2-1 & 3-4-4-3. Now, I love it!
Now I can't wait to weave more and see the design emerge in a peaceful manner right before my eyes!
