I had been drawn to Overshot for a while. I have a couple great books but I have a problem sometimes understanding books. I was at R&M Yarns and the new Handwoven was out. On the cover was beautiful overshot towels - I don't think I grabbed the magazine - It grabbed me! I read it and read it, finally I decided to go for it.
Picked from the 10/2 threads I had on my shelf for the warp and the tabby, then the 5/2 that I had for the pattern. But when I started to do the weaving, got a little scared at all the different colors they had used in the magazine - I decided I would stick to 2 colors.
Watching the pattern emerge was so wonderful! I just could not wait to try a different color for the next towel. I made alot of mistakes when I warped up but fixed most of them and learnt alot while doing it. Made mistake while weaving, but that's okay - maybe I won't make those mistakes next time. Probably make new ones - but that is okay too.
