Gertrude's Fancy
Back to the Davidson book for more overshot. This is Gertrude's Fancy (on page 167 in the older green copy of the book). It is another pattern where the photo in the book does not match up to the pattern on the page. If you thread your loom exactly as written one time through and then start again at the beginning and stop where it says "end here", you will get three blocks of the pattern like I have here. I threaded a total of 289 warp ends including the selvage.
The warp is 10/2 perle cotton in Poplin and the weft is Harrisville Shetland. The more I think about it, the more I truly love overshot. It feels like I am weaving a painting as the pattern emerges.
Happy weekend!
