The current series of warps are…complex.
Today, after several days delay (due to physical maintenance and body protesting said maintenance) I finally started weaving the next warp.
I wasn’t pleased with the beginning – sewing the hem would cut off part of the motif at the top and bottom, and I knew I wasn’t going to be best pleased with that, visually. But I thought I would complete the first towel, then change the treadling.
Until I got about 9″ woven and spotted it. Yup. Threading mistake.
I had threaded 10-7 twice instead of 7-10 twice. It wasn’t really obvious while I was focused on other things – like making sure everything was working properly, fussing over the hems, etc., but once I spotted it, I couldn’t *not* see it.
So, I cut it off, fixed the threading mistake and re-tied. And, since I was starting over anyway, I edited the treadling sequence to create a ‘proper’ hem so that the motif would not be awkwardly chopped off.
And I thought about how several people over the years have told me that they can’t wait until they get to the point where they don’t make mistakes anymore.
Ha.
Anyway, it’s lunch time now, so I’m going to eat and then go back to the loom. And this time I hope I don’t find any more ‘mistakes’…
