It may seem like I took a break. But no, not really. I had a show this past weekend. So travel & set up on Friday, show on Saturday & Sunday, then pack up and travel back home. I like getting feedback from both buyers and lookers. I really like spending time with my sister, which I get to do for many of the shows I do. I don’t like the set up or tear down, but it goes with the territory. <\/p>\n

Jack spent the weekend with my daughter and her family. They all did fine. <\/p>\n

That took up all of Friday and, along with things like getting groceries, much of Monday. On Tuesday I spent a few hours taking care of my grandson during the day and took Jack to his 3rd puppy class in the evening. I did manage to finish weaving KG’s short wrap with the charcoal weft in the middle. <\/p>\n

Today I got the first section of my warp woven. I settled on black rayon chenille. I thought I’d do plain weave, but hated the way it looked…you can see a few rows in the picture above. So I went to my computer’s weaving software and played around with various options. I changed the tie up and much prefer the weave pattern, although I had to do a double beat to get that rayon chenille weft packed in enough.<\/p>\n

That’s the good news. The bad news is that I didn’t have as much black rayon chenille as I wanted. I ran out after 54″. I’d wanted to weave another 10-12″. I’ll make it work. I’m just not sure exactly what or how right now.<\/p>\n

Then I switched to navy tencel. I thought I’d continue with the same weave pattern, but I didn’t like it in the tencel. So I went back to my weaving software, played around some more, and decided on a simple zigzag pattern. I got almost 60″ of that woven today, too.<\/p>\n

My plan is that tomorrow I’ll finish (I hope) my Christmas shopping and get most of the rest of the way through the warp. I need to get this warp off the loom, wet finished, and out to KG. Then I need to get a warp on the counterbalance loom for more Christmas presents. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
