This is going to sound ridiculous but what is the past tense of weave, as in someone weaved something together. I'm sure it is weaved, but something in my head is screaming wove... which I don't think is even a word, but won't go away.

A wove the strings together.
Alternatively, a gold pattern was woven into the material.

Weaved is not correct.

Wove or woven, I think; weaved is used in a different context.

x wove y together
The z was woven from...

they weaved through the traffic

According to the American Heritage dictionary, if it's the motion of weaving in and out, it should be weaved. If it's material that you weave, it should be wove. (D C Logan looked it up for me.)

Woven that was what I wanted.... Thank you. I'm terrible with working out tenses.

Woven!!!! I knew neither of those seemed quite right. Thank you!

Thank you! I'm so bad at grammar.

Anytime! One of the things an flist is useful for...

I don't know what I would do without my flist. Feed my fic addiction and help my grammar fail all in one handy place :0).

Thank you :0). What would I do without you guys? after 28 years of speaking and thinking in it everyday you would have thought I'd have mastered the intricacies of the English language, but sadly I am still hopeless.

There are still things that throw me--and I TAUGHT English.
