Can you see it? In the red stripe! Horror of horrors, a mistake and it repeated with the repeat of the chain and every repeat of the 4 block pattern. Just what you don't want to see when you cut a complete blanket off the loom and it really only showed on the inside of the fold so it wasn't seen till the end. One pin was missing from the dobby chain, either I never put it in or it fell out before I got to hammer them in securely. It was just on dusk as I was finishing off so either could have happened.
Its put me a day behind schedule but I cut each thread and needle wove them back correctly. Fulled the blanket today and its looking great. It'll be in Pauanesia before long.
This pattern is Poutama or Stairway to Heaven and, in Maori mythology, its symbolic of a climb made by a dude called Tawhaki to collect three baskets of knowledge from the Gods.
