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

This warp, weft, & weave combo is great. But……<\/p>\n

…as I wove and wove and got the near end… What the heck?! OH! MY! GOD!<\/strong> It happened again?!?! <\/p>\n

I measured and counted and counted and counted and counted again the number of wraps around that warping mill. The warp can’t possibly<\/em> be too short again!<\/p>\n

But it is. <\/p>\n

So I need to walk away from the loom and do something else to clear my mind. Those two buckets of gardening did the trick. When I came back in I went back to my calculation papers and looked again. OH CRAP!! I forgot a step!<\/p>\n

Weaving all begins with math. <\/p>\n

Here’s my math on the MG & TA warp.
\n\"MG<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is it on an earlier warp. Can you spot the difference?
\n\"H&H<\/a><\/p>\n

On the earlier warp I took the necessary step of allowing for take up and loom waste, circled in red here. (Non-weavers, don’t worry if you don’t understand the terms, just pay attention to the math.)
\n\"Planning<\/a><\/p>\n

I neglected to do that in MG & TA’s warp. If I had done that, I would have added 66″ to the warp length. Actually, based on the fact that I always wind warps longer than my math says is the right amount, just to be sure, I would have added more like 80″ or more to the length.
\n\"Here's<\/a><\/p>\n

I went back to the last warp planning, and saw that I’d made the same error, not allowing for take up & loom waste. So when I assumed that I’d miscounted the number of wraps around the warping mill, I stopped looking for the cause of the problem. That incorrect assumption led me to make the same mistake again. <\/p>\n

Now that I know FOR SURE the REAL reason for the problem, I KNOW I won’t do it again. I’m going to go email TA and give her the bad news and suggest alternatives for her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
