I finally sat down and started #weaving the overshot table runner last night. The set up for this took quite a while, but I think the actual weaving will go pretty quickly.
I worked on this more over the weekend, but as it's a repeating pattern, it will look basically like the last picture up to the point I take it off the loom.

Wow!
A man of many talents 😅
@kyle Looks beautiful.
@kyle
So cool. That must take a lot of focus
@BernieWonIowa What's interesting is that you start to develop a rhythm during the weaving process and it becomes somewhat automatic. While you do still focus on what you are doing, it's not the same kind of mentally-taxing focus that I need for parts of my day job. I actually listen to podcasts sometimes while I do it.
I don't find myself mentally exhausted after weaving, but actually the contrary, it lets my mind relax and wander, which is one of the reasons I like it.
You can get a better sense of the pattern now that it's repeated a few times. This is called "Wandering Vine" (from Davison's famous #weaving pattern book) but is also known as "Cat Track" or "Snail Trail" which makes more sense once you can see more of the pattern.
