Leaf Motif: A Different Draft

 So, my original leaf motif draft didn't work. But before giving up on leaves altogether, I did some hunting around to see if there was anything out there that would work. Here's what I eventually found.

Eva Stossel's Networked Weaving Draft 2

I originally found it on Pinterest, but with no link or credit to the designer. The uploaded image was small anyway, so I kept hunting and eventually found the source. It has everything I'm looking for:
  • leaf motif (so I can keep my idea of seasonally colored leaves)
  • 8-shaft point twill threading (which I'm already threaded for)
  • 8 treadles (I have 10, so that leaves me 2 for tabby)
  • treadles single shafts only (!)

My only concern (besides whether or not it would actually work) was the 5-end floats. But I figured I'll give it a try and see what I thought.
