This is 2x2 Leno which is offset. The strands of warp are twisted and put on a pick up stick,then the stick is turned on its side to make a shed. The shuttle is then ran through to lock the twists in place. Next row you start the twists with a 1x1 to offset them. I did 3 rows of leno. There is a one inch border, and the lace is around three inches so I know to start the lace about four inches from the end of the scarf.
While I was weaving,started up a Christmas gift from my husband,a robotic vacuum. It needed to be charged overnight so this was the first chance to see how it works. Did a good job,picked up lots more than expected. The only problem was the dog barked at it a lot. Finally took him into another room where I was weaving and he calmed down. Hope he gets used to it soon,am looking forward to using it often.
