Back in 2023, I made a video for each day of advent, picking a random draft from Warp-Twined Angles, then weaving in on a red, white and green warp. This year, I'll be doing something similar using the drafts from Egyptian Zigzags and some of the yarn from a 12 Days of Christmas set that my parents gifted me last year, combined with a skein of Mothy and the Squid black yarn. Like last time, I've modified the threading diagram from the book (the first of the two diagrams below) for this new band, removing one group of four pattern tablets and reducing down the selvedge tablets to just two on each side. Black remains the motif line, but I've switched the background threads for black and rainbow colours rather than white.
Egyptian Zigzags has 154 drafts in total (not including the reconstruction band), but many are have a vertical line of symmetry running down the centre which would look odd with nine groups of four pattern tablets rather than the original ten that the drafts were designed for. To prevent this, I've limited the pool of drafts to the remaining 64, which still gives plenty to pick from.
