Here is the first sample of the Overshot throws I am working on. I still have a few bugs to work out. I need to scootch the pattern over a few threads, as you can see the right border is a bit wider than the left border! I thought I had worked that out!
The throw after hemming measures 35in x 45in. This is prewash, of course. It lost 1 inch, in the reed already with the weaving. I think I need to make it several inches longer. I will know more after I wash and dry it. I am debating about whether to put it in the dryer or not. I like to replicate what would happen to them in a normal home, so maybe I will.
I really am enjoying this project, despite the difficulties, and stupid mistakes I have made. I am able to get into a rythym with this pattern, and am finding it easy to know what part of the pattern comes next without looking at my cheat sheet.
I am going to rethread this afternoon, and see how far I can get on the next one. I will have this one washed and dried before I finish the next one, so I will know how long I need to go. I like this pattern so much I may stick with it throughout this warp, and maybe go on to another classic with the next one.
Off I go, Until next time, Happy Weaving, Tina

This really turned out great!!! Did you enjoy the project????
That looks great. Being fun is a plus.
Absolutely wonderful!! You've got a good touch weaving and the throws will be nice once they're done!! Let us know how they do once they're washed.
