...we could retire on its contents about now! ;)
It took me a couple of weeks, but I finally got my next warp ready to weave! Here is the warp set up to do alternating rows of orange and blue (and no, I am not a Gators Fan).
But I actually wanted something a bit different - so I had to rearrange the cross again:
Now you can see I am going to get short bits of alternating orange and blue:
Before I could test it, I had to put in my string heddles:
Finally, a few "fat shots" to straighten things out and settle things down.
I know it's still looking a bit messy, but the last one looked messy at this stage too, and in the end it came out okay. So I have hopes for this one. ;)
Plus, NO WAY I am going to pull this out and try for a fourth time! ;)
The "real" weft will be a thin yarn and so it won't be such a checker-board effect.
Next weekend will be a long one, so hopefully I can make some real progress on this! And maybe even get into my sewing room! Wouldn't that be a nice change of pace? ;)
