Ram's Horn card weaving

I decided to make myself a make shift loom, until my husband has a chance to build me a box loom. 

I have an inkle loom to weave on but for some card weaving patterns where you just turn the cards forward, the string just gets to twisted. So I made a temporary loom so I could try my hand at a Ram's Horn pattern.

With the Ram's Horn pattern you turn the cards forward four time, flip the 3,4,5, 8, 9, & 10 card and then go forward four more time. Next flip the cards back that were flipped and go forward 4 more time. So basically turn 4 quarter turns forward, flip the cards turn 4 quarter turns forward flip the cards.

Sounds pretty easy.

My first attempt at the pattern seemed close, but it wasn't coming out right.  So I went back to my notes and figured out I was starting on the wrong side of the card. Basically I was starting with the D side up instead of the A.

 My next attemts seemed even worse, but then I discovered that when I had move my loom to a different table the cards got out of order. Makes a big difference in the patten.

I looked back at my pattern to make sure all the cards were in the order they were supposed to be and that I started on the right side, and finally the correct pattern emerged. I was so excited I wanted to jump up and down.

It's so beautiful when it's right.

After I had gotten it right a few time I needed to switch it to a different table again and it messed up again. I can't wait to get my box loom so the card shuffleing issue goes away.

At least I figured out the pattern and I think I can do it again.
