I did this pattern once, I'm not weaving a lot these days, but I don't recall jhaving to reposition the tablets. It's actually a lovely rhythm once you get started weaving. One thing, a lot of twist builds up. If you reverse the turning sequence, that'll get rid of the twist, but it also gives a very different pattern. I was suprprised to find that reversing the turning actually DID give a coherent pattern, though not one that matches the Birka one. Ford

I took it up after being diagnosed with lupus. I'm really enjoying it and want to weave all the time. :-) I've just ordered Peter's book and while waiting for it to arrive I thought I'd give this pattern a try: http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~capriest/birkarcp.html Please forgive my ignorance, but I have a question about it. Do I return all the cards to their original positions (A and D on top of the shed) before each turning sequence and after each pattern repeat? Or do I just keep going? It's a beautiful pattern and I'm excited about weaving it. I just don't want to muck it up.
