Overshot Runner in Green Handspun

Overshot puts in a frequent appearance around here for good reason: it's beautiful, versatile, and traditional patterns have fabulous names (think "Young Lovers' Knot," "Burgoyne Surrounded," or, in this case, "Fish in the Pond"). It's easy to design new patterns, too: one of my most popular commission orders is custom "name draft" pillows with an overshot pattern based on a hidden word or message.

Overshot is also the perfect canvas for showcasing a special skein of yarn—and this one is perhaps the most special I've yet to weave with, because I spun it myself! I learned to spin last summer at the Flock Fiber Festival in Seattle, and have been working my way up to something worth weaving with ever since.
