The yarn for my next 2 warps of baby wraps should arrive on Monday. Meanwhile I got my counterbalance loom ready for some Christmas presents. Measured 430 threads, threaded the heddles and reed, tied onto the front apron, and wove a few pics to test the threading. I didn’t see any, so I proceeded.<\/p>\n

I got a few inches farther and darn! I had not one but TWO threading errors, both in the reed. (I’m showing the photo in black & white to retain some surprise.)<\/p>\n

\"reed<\/a><\/p>\n

I should have had 2 threads in every dent (slit) for the entire width. Unfortunately in the center of the warp I only had 1 thread, and on the left side of the warp I had 3 threads. (See the red arrows.) <\/p>\n

I cut out the weft, untied the warp from the apron, and 1 bout at a time, corrected the threading from the center out to the left side of the warp.<\/p>\n

Retie, weave again. POOP!! Now I have 3 threads in a dent in the center of the warp!! And only then did I notice that I had a heddle-threading error, too! (See the yellow arrow.)<\/p>\n

Again, cut out the weft, rethread from the center to the left, fix the threading error, retie, and start weaving AGAIN.<\/p>\n

Third time was the charm. I can’t show you more of what I’m weaving since they’re presents. I will tell you that I made lots of progress…until today. Not a shuttle thrown. Some fun, some work; some things went smoothly, some were very frustrating. I want to let go of the downside so won’t detail my frustrations.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to finishing what’s on my counterbalance loom tomorrow, and receiving a lovely box of yarn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
