- The weaver started a new warp with 180 threads in two halves for easier handling, using a continuous thread and a 'cross' to maintain order.
- Threading involved organizing warp threads on eight shafts, with a crackle weave pattern following a formulaic 'up two, down one' motif.
- A mistake with two threads was corrected during test weaving, which also helped visualize the threading pattern.
- The design process used AdaCAD software to experiment with crackle motifs, paths, and parameters, influencing the final weave pattern.
- The weaver emphasized the discrete, ordered nature of weaving, drawing parallels to computing and textile metaphors in language.
