An article from Master Weaver arguing that handweavers can design modern, simple, asymmetrical block patterns within traditional unit weaves such as summer and winter, turned twill (dimity), huckaback, lace weaves and double weaves. It presents sample patterns of 1 to 9 blocks plus ground, each with a profile draft, and explains how to convert a profile into a full threading draft by calculating units per block from total ends and sett. Worked examples cover summer-and-winter napkins and a 45 by 45 inch bridge table cover in 1:2 turned twill, with tie-up and treadling notes.
