I did it slightly different, because in the publication Vedeler mentions a irregular pattern of diamond twill and I tried to realize it in my work. I described it in my blog but unfortunately only in german, maybe Google trnslator helps a little bit. There are three parts, just click on the link at the bottom of each site.<br />http://textileflaeche.blogspot.de/2014/12/die-tunika-von-lendbreen.html Marledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397953051393777514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670213486548123819.post-60515811250686568192016-12-12T15:44:28.184-05:002016-12-12T15:44:28.184-05:00I'm in awe of them too!

That may have made any bunchiness tolerable.Cathy Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580681386443534011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670213486548123819.post-15001390528321343092016-12-12T05:44:17.578-05:002016-12-12T05:44:17.578-05:00The sleeves of the tunic look very narrow to me, I...The sleeves of the tunic look very narrow to me, I would expect it to bunch annoyingly under the arms?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922327113784175177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670213486548123819.post-26918865197004698192016-12-12T01:34:19.819-05:002016-12-12T01:34:19.819-05:00As I said, I have no understanding of the nuts and...As I said, I have no understanding of the nuts and bolts of weaving anything more complex than a tablet-woven band.
