It sounds as though you've pretty much solved the problem, but just in case anyone else has the same issue, here's my take on it.
If you label the holes of a tablet A-B-C-D, then which side of the band the pattern comes out on will depend on whether the letters run clockwise or anticlockwise. This is seldom mentioned in books, and it's very easy to get it the other way around to the instructions.
I'm sufficiently lazy that I've never worked out which way is correct. I just set the band up, and start weaving, and if the pattern is not coming up clear and sharp, I turn the band over.

Sarah, Thanks for your responses. I've put a photo of the weaving on the web at http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~llama/ramshorn/ As you can see, the yellow interrupts the purple rams horns instead of outlining it. Because of copyright I can't put Crockett's original on the site for comparison (or her instructions), so hope some of you do have her book or other sources of the pattern.
Timothy, I use a Mac PowerBook, and Guntrams Tabletweaving Thingy requires Windows. There is an online program on LoomyBin that I might be able to figure out how to use. It seems to work with my Mac.
I appreciate your help and suggestions,
Sharon
