Some of us in the weaving world, don't follow patterns or the traditional style of weaving, such as select your warp and weft colors. We prefer to weave from the heart/mind choosing colors as we weave rather than a pre-designed set. I have been known to pick whatever colors I like for the warp, put it on the loom and then once I decide to start weaving, select the colors for the weft.
This style of weaving first surfaced in Japan many years ago. The style of weaving is officially known as SAORI. Mihoko and Nat, Worcester, MA have a great explanation of what SAORI is and who can use the term. ( http://saoriworcester.com/what.htm )
