I'm #weaving fabric for another tote bag using the krokbragd technique. What I like about this technique is that it allows for a level of improvisation you typically don't get with most weaving.
For instance, I decided this pattern in brown tones will be a bit too bland for the full side of the tote, so I'm going to improvise a banded purple diamond pattern around the middle of the tote to spice things up.

Side note for other weavers: when I did the threading for this, I dressed the loom to be able to do 3 to 4 totes. To give myself maximum future flexibility, instead of doing a typical 1-2-3-2-1 krokbragd threading, I opted for 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 traditional twill and then when doing tie-ups I left my plain weave 2-4 treadle alone.
This lets me weave 1-2-3 krokbragd but I also have the option to switch to a standard twill pattern if I wanted to.
