On the "Warp Color Sequence" page for the Log Cabin Sample, the instructions read "5 Alternating dark/light (10)"
I understand that part. However, when I go to thread the heddles from right to left, would you interpret the instructions to thread "light" first, and then the "dark" to its left? I am assuming that the dark lays to the left of the light. I thought in Jane's Season 3, Episode 3 on Log Cabin, that she threaded dark first. (on the right)
The Log Cabin segment starts after the red zinger, threading right to left with 5 alternating dark/light - the next Log Cabin segment is light/dark. If you are a visual learner like I am, looking closely at the photo on the first page of the pattern might help.
Sandra,
If I threaded the heddles backwards according to the directions (dark/light instead of light/dark) but did this consistently, will I still get the log cabin effect? Or should I pull everything out of the heddles and start over?
Thanks,
Patty
Hi Patty, did you put in the symmetry and framing threads in the right order? If it were me, and I was in any doubt, I would rethread them and tell myself it was a lesson learned. You will be looking at those samples for a long time and I, personally, would want to know I had set things up perfectly so I could repeat the pattern in a new design of my own. Start at the right of your loom and thread then exactly the way Jane has mapped it out for us on page 2 of the PDF.
