triangle summer & winter weave : dukagang

Here are some sketches on summer and winter weaving using Weave Draft:



I have always been partial to dukagang structure, as it creates clean blocks of color on a plainweave ground. Summer and Winter is really spectacular for its ability to construct shapes with "blocks"- threading groups- it feels like magic to draft your own patterns. I am so overjoyed to be weaving again! If I could do this all day for the rest of my life, I would consider myself a very lucky person.
