A better pretty

I went back to the Celtic knots from yesterday and realized that the lines were all conflicting, so I discarded the stripes and produced this pattern, which I like a LOT better:

Celtic knotwork with a diamond motif in between
Celtic knotwork with a diamond motif in between

Not appropriate for the coat, perhaps, but it would make a very lovely cloth.  Not sure just what yet, but this one I like and do intend to weave up someday.

Tomorrow morning I’m going to my mom’s, where there is no wireless and only limited Internet connectivity, so you may not hear much from me until the 26th, when we fly out to Chicago to visit B.’s family.

So if I don’t post before then, merry Xmas! or whatever winter holiday you celebrate.  It’s a great time to celebrate, to spend time with the people you love, and to prepare for the coming New Year.
