Weaving was progressing smoothly and rather rapidly. I finished 1/3 of the warp on the first day, and on the next I was past 115″. All of a sudden, the light bulb went off in my head. I couldn’t make pants out of the fabric I was weaving! It was far too loose for this pants!
So I started weaving anew, now packing it much more densely. You can see from the photo that after that decision I struggled to make the weave consistent…some areas are more closely woven than others. This got better as I went along, but was a challenge throughout.
The good news is that I can most likely use the more loosely-woven fabric to make a top. The pattern I bought for the pants also has a simple top pattern.
The bad news is that I’ll have to wind another warp to make up the length I need. Sigh. The good news is that I have enough yarn to do so.
You know, Theresa, I don’t think either will need a lining. I think (and hope) they’ll be fine.
That’s how some days are, Alma. 🙂
What a good news, bad news day!
Oh dear, what a pain but in the end I’m betting you will so enjoy them. Lovely colors.
Both pants and top could and might benefit from a soft light weight lining.
Pets to Jack!
