I’ve been making good progress indoors and out without making myself crazy. <\/p>\n

I finished the warp of three silk ‘huck checkerboard’ scarves, one of which was a special order. The one with the natural weft, which I was hoping would show off the checkerboard pattern of the design, was a bit disappointing to me. I don’t know that the design shows up any differently than the ones woven with all bleached yarn. Oh, well.<\/p>\n

Then I finished the two Siberian iris beds. They look quite good mulched. I’ve left all the seed pods, since I want them to drop their seeds into the beds to make more iris. After that I’ll cut them off so Pfeiffer Nature Center <\/a>can use them for their holiday wreath decorations. <\/p>\n

I got my main peony bed finished – it’s shown half done here.<\/p>\n

I cleaned up the pachysandra and rock area in front of the house and have been working on other areas, too.<\/p>\n

I also got a towel warp on the counterbalance loom. I tried some turned taquete, inspired by iowaweaver<\/a>. I was incredibly frustrated at first, having all sorts of tension issues. I wove one towel, cut it off, and retied. I still had lots of tension issues despite my attempts at loom adjustments, and had to walk away from the loom. When I returned the next day, I realized that all the things I’d done to try to improve the tension were exactly opposite what I should have done. When I corrected them, the tension was perfect!<\/p>\n

I wove another towel and decided that the sett was far too loose at 20EPI. I cut off again and resleyed to 24EPI. That seemed perfect, so I’ve since woven another 3 towels. They’re all a bit different, and I’ll show them all when they’re off the loom. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
