Overshot Table Runner

Overshot Table Runner

My first full weaving project is complete! It is a snail trail and cats paw overshot pattern from the Davidson weaving book. The warp is 10/2 white perle cotton and the weft is 3/2 red perle cotton. I really like the pattern, but I had the sett at 22 epi and it should be more, so I am going to try it at 24 epi.

Another funny thing is that the photo next to the pattern in the Davidson book is different from how the pattern turns out. The snail trail is six lines in the book, but five in the pattern.  I like it both ways.

I am going to try it again wider and with a closer sett.  I really like the red and white combination, but may try other colors.
