Like anyone who ever tried a recipe on the Internet, I did not follow instructions. I went for 8 dark X 8 light color and weave. On the loom, the color combination produces rectilinear checks. With finishing, the yarns in their variable floats find new positions of rest and create a diamond e\ufb00ect on the fabric surface. Weaving instructions and a discussion of color and weave e\ufb00ects can be found at textiletmi.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-style-rectangular wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-detail.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"792\" height=\"879\" data-id=\"25285\" data-src=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-detail.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25285 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-detail.jpg 792w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-detail-270x300.jpg 270w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-detail-768x852.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 792px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 792\/879;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-full-size-rotated.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"25286\" data-src=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-full-size-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25286 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-full-size-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-full-size-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-full-size-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/anwgconference.org\/archive\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strickler-47-checks-full-size-rotated.jpg 1512w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/1024;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erica Tiedemann, Seattle Weavers Guild, Seattle, WA Material &amp; Technique:&nbsp;#47 from A Weaver&#8217;s Book of 8-Shaft Patterns, edited by Carol Strickler.
