So, I repeated the four weaves (plain, basket, rib and twill) with two colors. I thought I was adding grey to the black & white mix, but the yarn is really more of a taupe color.
Here is the two color plain weave - black & grey weft, white warp. I like it better than the plain weave in just black and white.
And here is the basket weave with black & grey weft - for this one I like the single color weft better. ;)
Two color rib weave - with white and grey weft and white warp (as Chandler recommended). This one is interesting...
Finally, a two color twill - black & grey weft, white warp.
I'll pull this off, finish it and re-sley the reed by spreading out the warp. Stay tuned as the loooongest sampler exercise in the whole world continues! ;)

This is why I thought you deserved that award. I love the way you're approaching this with such comprehensiveness: and glee!
It's interesting that even with such similar samples, there are some I like better than others.
You're doing great! Keep up the good work!!

Thank you for taking the time to share your progress. I'm enjoying following this.
I like the way you're approaching this too. I started with Chandler at the beginning and then started skipping around. I really like these samples though, and they're ones I haven't done! Something more to look forward too.
You have a very intresant blog and I love it.
