\"Meghan's<\/a><\/p>\n

It took FOREVER to beam the warp for Meghan’s baby wrap. Honestly, although I said I was going to keep track of the time spent, I stopped doing so after 3 1\/2 hours when I felt very far from the end of the beaming process. I kept being interrupted – by phone calls, by needing to make soup, to rest my body, to refill my patience store – but I know I spent at least <\/em>another 3 hours, probably quite a bit more. <\/p>\n

I also know that I made some mistakes in my process (like compressing the threads in the raddle to 40 EPI so I could use my favorite lease sticks) that I will correct next time. So I’m writing the beaming down on my paper as 6+ hours.<\/p>\n

The next step was threading 940 heddles. Honestly, I used to dislike this step of the weaving process but I don’t now. After the challenging of beaming, I was actually looking forward to something that was merely tedious & time consuming, something that wouldn’t challenge my brain or my body.<\/p>\n

I got all heddles threaded, hopefully without error, in 4 hours. I’m doing a simple point twill threading, so after each group of 14 threads (threaded 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5-6-7) I checked the threading of that group before tying my slip knot and proceeding. It’s not guaranteed<\/em> that I have no heddle threading errors, but it’s not overly likely. If I can be as careful in threading the reed (where I usually make my errors), it’ll be good.<\/p>\n

I’d LOVE to get the loom all threaded, tied up, and the header woven before the day’s out. That’s when I’ll know for sure if I’ve got any threading errors. I know moms are waiting to see how this warp progresses, too, since this is the first of several orders I have for baby wraps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
