As much as I love weaving on my countermarch loom, tying up the lamms and treadles is a real pain. Or at least it's extremely uncomfortable as it involves crawling around on the floor and contorting to connect everything in the right pattern. So when I ran across a video series on how to tie up a countermarch loom easily from the top, I was immediately interested. This post is to list whatever resources I found on how to do it.
The first resource an article by Kati Meeks in the October 2017 issue of Complex Weaver's Journal. I found back issues available on the Complex Weavers website, and ordered a copy. This is the article that started the system.
Next is a link to a blog post at Jean Elizabeth Studio:
And here is a list of videos from Jean Elizabeth Studio. These were made to clarify the blog post:

Also, I found a few more pictures at:
Kay Faulkner's blog, A convenient treadle tie up method for countermarche looms
Kati Meeks blog, I am re-draw-loomed And having a blast!
So that's what I have to work with for instructions. If I find additional resources, I'll add them too.
