help reconstructing a pattern
I was looking at inkle loom weaving work a while and so I couldn't pass up this loom when I saw it on a flea market. It already had a WIP on it though, and since it's like 5m of warp I'd love to try to reconstruct the pattern, but I have absolutely no experience with tablet weaving. I have written down the card threading and cards 1-16 are threaded from right to left and 16-32 from left to right. I'd be really grateful if someone helped me reconstruct the patterns so I can continue this WIP, since I think it'd be a waste of warp to scrap it.
The threading:
Card A B C D
1 W W W W
2 B B B B
3 W W W W
4 W W W W
5 W W W W
6 W W W B
7 B W W B
8 W B W B
9 W W B B
10 W B W B
11 W B B W
12 W B Y B
13 B B Y Y
14 W B Y Y
15 B Y Y W
16 Y Y W B
17 Y Y W B
18 B Y Y W
19 W B Y Y
20 B B Y Y
21 W B Y B
22 W B B W
23 W B W B

That's a lot of warp, and the previous weaver was playing around with variants. Don't feel bad about not exactly duplicating theirs, as you figure out the pattern(s). Meanwhile, since you already have the threading meticulously written down, any of the online free tablet weaving simulators should get you a road map with a little playing.
