It was just the right type of day–freezing rain, slush, yuck– for staying inside. So, what if I wasn’t pleased with my first attempt? No big deal. I cut off the weft and started another pattern. This one is better, I think, and the selvedges are tidy, too.
Front:
I'm playing around with 7 shaft patterns on the little Louet W30 table loom. I like the front; I'm not as crazy about the back. I think I'll unweave (okay, I'll admit that unweaving may involve scissors) and try another geometric pattern. There are several interesing point twill patterns with this threading.
Back:
So, if I do run low on beige, I'll have plenty of blue or white to finish. But why worry? This blanket I'm planning (the one where I weave nearly a dozen panels on my Ashford Sampleit and then sew them all together) may take a long, long time to finish. I decided a little pattern never hurt anyone, and so there will be a few panels with some Brooks Bouquet in them to fancy it up.
He’s decided the Ashford Sampleit takes up far too much lap time.
