God in in the details.

I had major face-to-face, one-on-one time with my loom over the weekend!
Here are some "highlights" from Saturday:
Image #1: Do you see that single "slot" (called "dents" in the weaving world) that is empty?
Do you know what that indicates?
It indicates that someone is about to have to re-do a lot of work...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Image #2: This is a step that always leaves me feeling uncertain - as you tie the bunches (called "bouts" in the weaving world) onto the front beam, you are supposed to pat them down (similar to feeling them up, but slightly less creepy) and make sure that they all are being held under the same amount of tension...
Yeah, right... Like I can really tell if one bout is slightly tighter than another...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Image #3: Do you see the crossed threads marked by the red circle?
Do you know what that indicates?
It indicates that someone is about to have to re-do a lot of work...

While there were some challenges to the day, I got the loom ready to go and even started weaving! I'll show you more pictures tomorrow. :)
I hope everyone had a wonderful sewing weekend! :)
