Hi, Lia,

I created a set of diagrams of about 7-8 different weaves for my
students (including tabby, basketweave, twill, vertical bars, and some
others I can't think of this early). They are my own admittedly
amateurish diagrams but you are welcome to use them. I would have
offered them earlier but had the same idea that Charlotte had, that you
were looking for actual patterns. Let me know if you could use any of
them.

Maggie
