I have about 140&#8243; of JM&#8217;s wrap woven, with 80 more to go.  I&#8217;m sure I can get those 80&#8243; woven tomorrow.  (I&#8217;ve thought that before, too, so we&#8217;ll see.)  I wanted to give you a better idea of how nicely the colors were playing together, but none of the photos I took were at all realistic for color.  A recent post by <a href=\"http:\/\/sandrarude.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sandra Rude<\/a> explained that many small digital point-and-shoots have trouble getting accurate colors with reds because they have a lower quality sensor than bigger DSL cameras. I wish I understood that.  \ud83d\ude09  So you can get a good sense of how great the framboise works with the blues here, but the red color is completely off.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/JMC-center.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/JMC-center.jpg\" alt=\"center of JMC&#039;s wrap\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/JMC-center.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/JMC-center-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/JMC-center-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/JMC-center-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I&#8217;m still waiting for the tencel for AF&#8217;s wrap, the sister to this one, to arrive.
