Shadow weave is calling me

I checked Marian Stubenitsky’s book Max8 out from my Guild’s library in December, and was captivated by the Shadow Weave patterns she has on p. 26-28. I copied her draft into iWeaveIt, noodled around with it a bit, warped up my Big Mac, sleyed a twill sett, and ended up with this:

I realized I needed to sett it wider so switched to a plainweave sett and got this: 

I love these so very very much, but I don’t have the necessary contrast between the main and shadow colors, so I am going to cut off, choose better colors, and re-warp. 

I declare 2024 the year of shadow weave!
