To encourage others to send in pictures of their work, here's some of mine! I recently started learning how to do sprang, and I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is once you get started! Sprang is a weftless weaving technique, where you wind a warp between two parallel sticks, and then twist and cross the threads of the warp. Here are some pictures of some of the patterns I have tried.

Meroe's Sprang This pattern is from page 147 of "The Techniques of Sprang" by Peter Collingwood. The design is from a Coptic sprang cap.

Meroe's Sprang I graphed this design and drafted the pattern myself! It is based on a design seen on a Coptic sprang hairnet.
