Tuesday was dressing the loom day, and it was the first time Janeen and I used a trapeze and her pocket button got caught in the warp, only a minor setback. So this project is going to be a double weave throw blanket, woven with Jaggerspun Maine Line 2/8 wool Williamsburg blue and Natural colors. At the end of the day the loom is just about ready to weave, just sley the reed and load bobbins. so some practice shots and get to weaving.
I always start planning the next warp but in this case I have a warp in waiting on another loom that is being used at the moment. So I'm planning another warp that I'm going to hand dye for a baby wrap. But today I've been sick with a sinus infection, I hope is better by Friday so I can get up to the guild to get started on the throw and then this weekend dye the warp for the wrap.
I'm very proud of myself for staying motivated to continue weaving and learning more about weaving like this double weave pattern is stepping out of my comfort zone.
You have to be a little warped to weave and I am. Weaving a life.....
