I spent some time on the computer planning a rayon chenille turned taquete. I thought I wanted blue, but at the show last weekend I realized what I really needed was reds. So I started a new computer plan with reds. All in all, I probably spent 2 hours of planning time.<\/p>\n

Got the warp measured, beamed, threaded, and tied on the front apron. Started weaving. I hate it. I hate it when I used the 4 colors in the warp. I hate it when I tried a black warp both with the taquete treadling and tabby treadling. The purple – the only purple I have – is way too strong for the 2 reds and the orange.<\/p>\n

As is my usual in cases like this, I walked away from the loom for a whole day, returning a few times to look at it again and see if I’d change my mind. I didn’t. So I started thinking about whether there was something I could do to save the warp or if I should simply cut the whole warp off and not waste my time as well as my materials.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I’m thinking…because this warp was planned to be a turned taquete I sett it at 24 ends per inch. For plain weave I sett my rayon chenille warps at 18 ends per inch. So if I pull all the purple threads (39 ends), I’ll still have 200 ends – 20 more than I usually use in my rayon chenille scarves. So I could pull 20 of the orange ends, too. If I do it in a semi-random fashion it’ll probably look better. Then I’ll have to re-thread heddles and reed.<\/p>\n

That means I start by re-inserting my lease sticks to re-establish the cross. But not today.<\/p>\n

Today I’m knitting some little amigurumi<\/a> toys for my grandson for Christmas. I’m into it. This may not look like much now, but it’s parts for a family of 3 mice with hats.<\/p>\n

Then Thursday & Friday I’ll be helping Pfeiffer Nature Center<\/a> by decorating wreaths – it’s their 2nd largest fund raiser and, for me, the one that’s really fun. <\/p>\n

I might have some time on Thursday and\/or Friday evening to start this warp fix. And it might just work. Or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
