cmerun12 has the same book I have, "A Willful Pursuit of Complexity" which does seem to go into some of how to design patterns like this. It's not a "pattern" book so much as a "how to figure it out yourself and design what you want to design" book, and I'm .... less good with those. I've worked 1 sample band out of that book and "will get back to it someday"

My current loom setup isn't so great if there's a thread missing from the hole. It's only the tension of the thread in the holes that keeps the cards suspended in midair. Take a thread away and cards "fall". The looms in the photos on this website are so different, the cards actually rest on the bottom board. I would imagine that's almost required to do this technique.

Have you seen "chip clips" that look like this? I found a few and they have become indespensible aids in weaving! They clip around thread very easily and keep the threads from getting tangled. I've used a mere half-dozen of them to facilitate moving in-process 3-yard-long projects between my "good" inkle loom and me "needs fixin'" inkle.

I'll have to find me some of those.

Yeah, my loom is also a suspension one (love gsharper13) but I need a better, rather a more consistent measurement tool when warping my loom.
