Some years ago I was a member of Complex weavers' double weave study group. The challenge was "3-D-construction".
So... my idea was to make a shawl: two layers, with the bottom layer forming "fins" coming up through the top layer. Like this:

It was time to weave - and IT WORKED!!
Below is the first yellow pass - from the right selvedge through the first fin:

Below is the tird yellow pass - the first fin is done, now the shuttle goes in the lower layer through the second fin:

The first orange pass - from right to left, just a straight layer:

Unfortunately I hadn't really paid attention to the reverse side of the construction. Construction-wise, it looks kind of okay - but it is boring... a boring flat yellow layer.
This is (so far!) the only shawl I have made that has a very obvious "wrong" side...
