This work-in-progress is a Dornik twill blanket designed by Barbara Elkins of Webs. It doesn't look like a blanket yet, does it?
I've had to overcome a number of challenges with this project. To start with I was unfamiliar with the term "Dornik twill". It wasn't hard to learn what it was, it just took some time--a short time to look it up, and a surprisingly long time to wrap my brain around the idea! ( It's a point twill with the point removed. ) Next, I had to add some threads to widen the piece. And then decide what colors I wanted for which stripes. Lastly, I had to check that a three yard warp was a good length for this blanket.
Whew! All these little steps. None of them were very difficult, but they each required physical and mental energy.
I look forward to getting this on (and off!) the loom!

shucks, you were left with all the rotten details! Next time you can design your own---that's the fun part!
I think you're right, Peg! I somehow thought that using someone else's pattern would make things easier! I was wrong! ;)
