I closed my last post with a dilemma and a question. I finally decided to go ahead and unweave the start I'd made so I could remove the visually "offending" section of warp.
As you can see, I fixed the asymmetry somewhat! Now, the crosses look balanced on the edges, but they are offset. That was a "drat" realization at first, but I let it go and really, I can live with it.
Project particulars:
- Structure - crackle in overshot manner
- Warp & tabby weft - 8/2 unmercerized cotton in teal blue
- Pattern weft - 5/2 mercerized cotton in apple green
- Sett - 24 e.p.i.
- Picks per inch - 24 p.p.i.
- Number of warp ends - 340
- Draft - "Scandinavian Favorite," treadling II from A Handweaver's Pattern Book by Marguerite Porter Davison

Much better!
I don't know that I would have realized the edge crosses were offset; it is visually pleasing!
It looks great Leigh! That said, I probably would have lived with it. For better or worse, I often live in the "good enough" camp.
Thank you everyone! Your kind words are very encouraging. :)
