Weaving Progress


Early morning view from my loom: Mulligan in the window




I started unweaving the scarf yesterday to see if I could figure out why the sizes of the rectangles were different, but stopped after a few rows -- the yarn was showing wear from all the manipulation.  Besides, in the morning light I was absolutely certain that I hadn't made a counting or treadling error.  I decided to leave well enough alone and keep going forward.  I'm glad I did; I got in the rhythm of the pattern and the weaving went much more quickly and easily. 












By mid-afternoon I'd made it to the warm hues in the color sequence.  I'm enjoying the color changes, even though this means a lot of beginning and endings with the yarn.  That first funky stripe of green is now rolled up and hidden away until the end of the project when the entire scarf is cut from the loom.  I already know that it won't look quite right, but that's OK.  In my mind I'm already planning color variations for the next projects  using this pattern -- I'll have plenty of opportunity to get it right.

  1. Ohhhh, I love the rainbow colors! So pretty! I don't think I have nearly enough patience to weave though. Patience is not my strong suit. :)

  2. Thanks! I have a thing for the rainbow shades too -- I get all excited like a little kid every time I get to change colors!

    As for patience, I've only got it for things I like to do. :)
