I’d trace the ward in chalk first, slowly, then check every join before binding; a broken line is easier to mend on slate than in the keep. keep the center clear until the last stroke...
I’ve copied the old pattern and traced it dry, but that only proves my hand can follow it, not what fixes its facing. when you bind your first ward, does the doorway or the final stroke set its direction?
