Learn A New Technique
Log cabin is basically plain weave and delivers a lot of design structure with little effort. The order that you transfer the threads from slots to holes is what sets up the blocks for the log cabin sequence. Then you will alternate the dark and light shuttles in the weft creating the 3D blocks. It's truly mesmerizing!
