Finished Project I found out Log Cabin is surprisingly easy

So... I've tried some patterns with two heddles, it worked fine but overall was too much hassle, so I've cut the experiment (fig2) off, rethreaded for one heddle and went for more experiments... and found out that log cabin is one very easy style! And I'm so happy with it.
This is just an encouragement for people like me who are bad bad bad with manuals and need to reinvent the wheel themselves. Which is basically what I did. Yeah, whatever. I'll try more manuals, won't read or watch anyway, get frustrated, try something else, invent stuff I would learn if I watched the video, be happy with the result. I think I like it...

(just for the record, my log cabin is 2-2 warp and 2-2 weft with 'reversed repeating' after 4 pairs of rows. I went the complicated way but next time I do it, I'll just have two colours together both warping and on shuttle. working on Ashford 24" rigid heddle with cotton)

I love log cabin too! I felt so smart the first time I wove it, and realized how easy it was.

Me too! It’s been a while since I’ve woven log cabin. I forgot how satisfying it is to weave.
