Why?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In a real ribbon, threads that are picked up are not as compressed as the others and seem wider. The tool doesn&#8217;t reproduce that. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-237\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_detail_compress-60x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"60\" height=\"150\" \/> We already saw this in Norwegian pickup test. But here it&#8217;s a problem since on the left a yellow and green vertical line appears that doesn&#8217;t appear on the right.<\/li>\n<li>Editor is a basic tool with a few tricks to keep it simple. When two adjacent threads are picked up, a trick is revealed <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-239\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_detail_superposition-57x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"57\" height=\"150\" \/> and the tool doesn&#8217;t display well the threads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Real ribbon will be better looking than the numerical preview.<\/p>\n<p>Do I need to update the editor to handle that?<\/p>\n<p>It seems that squared pattern is sufficient for advanced users, the editor may not be very useful for pickup pattern. Nice to choose colors but maybe not to create patterns.<\/p>\n<p>It is also interesting for beginners to understand how to weave. But it also could be misleading. As a beginner I probably chose a more complicated solution like one of the followings.<\/p>\n<p>With 3 more threads the preview is nice, and the &#8220;symmetrical click&#8221; mode helps a lot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-233 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_DP-478x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_DP-478x1024.jpg 478w, https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_DP-140x300.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_DP.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 478px) 85vw, 478px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To keep ribbon narrow this could be also a symmetrical solution.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-234 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_Db-445x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"445\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_Db-445x1024.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_Db-130x300.jpg 130w, https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_Db.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 445px) 85vw, 445px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My favorite could have been this one<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-232 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_DM-461x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_DM-461x1024.jpg 461w, https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_DM-135x300.jpg 135w, https:\/\/www.raktres.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/loom_DM.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 85vw, 461px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We saw that the pattern editor is a bit limited for pickup.
