I don't think I agree with this summary - 'Crockett' design still uses tablet manipulation. The hole is just a "transparent thread" that needs to be brought to the top at the correct time. Or perhaps I misunderstand what you intended to convey? > Are there other names for these two techniques that we could use? Given that the 'Scandanavian' method doesn't rely on the unthreaded holes at all, I agree that a different term is certainly required. I'm happy with the 'Crockett' technique keeping the label of missed-hole. Does anyone see any reason it shouldn't? The 'Scandanavian' method seems to fall into the same category as octagonal and hexagonal tablet weaves. It's a two hole tablet, essentially.
