Spring Baby Blanket

by Terry Newhouse Flynn

4-Shaft Project

 
"I first discovered shadow weave in 1986 with Marian Powell’s 1000(+) Patterns in 4, 6, and 8 Harness Shadow Weave. I was a fairly new weaver, hungering for 4-shaft weaves that would yield more than two blocks. I was so excited about the patterns in that book! But although I figured out the profile drafts, I
could not figure out how to tie-up and treadle them. Then I did what should have been the logical thing. I started reading the book from the beginning and discovered the magic key on page 9. The tie-ups for the entire book are there! I took off on a love affair with a weave structure that still intrigues me.
