Double heddle threading featuring King of the Hill.

so, while I am waiting for a Debbie Greenlaw book to arrive, I have culled the internet and stolen all of their best advice to make a krokbragd coloring book pattern generator thingie. it allows for visualizing the pattern in two different ways, with explicit heddle positions for each pick, and includes an example draft. I spent all day yesterday making up new rugs and I think it's pretty useful, so am publishing it here, along with all the sources I used to make it.

it's a "drawing" file in LibreOffice, the awesome free desktop office software suite, and I made it on a mac (godspeed compatibility issues).
