This afternoon I started dressing the small loom again, mainly because I have an order for this colour of mats. I didn’t promise delivery before Christmas, but I’d like to get them done and shipped – and paid for. Because the show season didn’t go as well as I would have liked. I knew I was low on shawls. I knew I was getting low on scarves. Turned out I was low on place mats, too. If you don’t have it there to sell…
Yesterday I wound a couple of warps, this one included, but didn’t even try to dress the loom. I was tired and that is a recipe for mistakes happening. As it was I was distracted and had to stop several times and recount my ends to make sure I was winding the warp accurately.
By 4 pm I’d hit the wall, so to speak, but managed to get this far:
I’m ready to weave, but rather than carry on while tired, decided to just wind bobbins so that I can start weaving tomorrow, hopefully when I’m better rested.
