I had 2 days to get a warp measured, beamed, threaded, and woven, cut off the loom, fringed, wet finished, pressed, & tagged if I was to meet my self-imposed deadline. Could I do it?<\/p>\n

It was easy enough to measure out a warp for log cabin, holding one black thread & one white thread together to cut the amount of time in half. After I had my 8.5 yards of 160 threads measured out, I put on the choke ties & chained them, as always. (Not a weaver and unfamiliar with the jargon? Stick with me — there’s not much more.)<\/p>\n

When I took it off the warping board I really liked the way it looked, so I laid it on the floor and took a photo. Somehow in the picture the colors show up as more distinctly black & white – to my eye they were a lovely silvery gray.

Log cabin isn’t a speedy weave since it requires two shuttles, so I wove and wove and wove. In the afternoon the sun was coming in the window and hitting the loom and I really liked the way it looked. Everything was very angular. And like an old black & white movie.

My string heddles blended into the white rayon of the warp threads. The play of sun and thread made the weaving all the more enjoyable.

Fighting fatigue and aching hands I finished the fringe and wet finished. I don’t know why I was tired or why my hands hurt, but I took some aspirin & echinacea and a nap to counteract it all. I felt much better when I woke up & trimmed the fringe on the 2 shawls and 6 scarves I’ve woven in the last 11 days. I think I’ll even have time to wash the dishes, vacuum & mop before I leave for the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
