This one is for CT and TS. Instead of taking still shots of my bouts, I thought I&#8217;d try a different route this time, showing what is involved in measuring a warp, especially the gradient section. I tried my hand at another video, and although this is my third try, it was nowhere near as tricky as the last one, when I had to figure out how to suspend the tripod over my head.<\/p>\n<p>Note that I mis-spoke in two places. First I said I was using 2 strands of lavender when it was actually magenta. Then I told you I had the incorrect number of threads&#8230;you&#8217;ll see me count to confirm that I have the number I need; clearly I couldn&#8217;t talk and count at the same time. Regardless, I think you&#8217;ll find it interesting to see the process.  (SO WEIRD!  When I preview I see the correct video.  When I post I see the prior weaving with sequins video.  I&#8217;m working on fixing that.  Bear with me.)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8VKK-Ywr8Nw\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a whole week since I last posted. In the meantime I went to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weaversguildofrochester.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Weaver&#8217;s Guild<\/a> meeting and saw a great presentation on art quilts by an AMAZING quilter, <a href=\"http:\/\/patpauly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pat Pauly<\/a>. I also met with 2 other Guild members who are interested in exploring working toward a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weavespindye.org\/certificates-of-excellence\" target=\"_blank\">Certificate of Excellence<\/a> with the Handweavers Guild of America. A daunting task, indeed, and I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ll go all the way&#8230;it&#8217;s a B.I.G job&#8230;some people have spent many hours each week for years to prepare all the needed materials and samples! But I&#8217;m confident that no matter how far I proceed down that path, it will be worth it and I&#8217;ll learn things.<\/p>\n<p>I went to Rochester&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.firstfridayrochester.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\">First Friday,<\/a> a monthly event focusing on art and artists. It was fun and interesting. I didn&#8217;t buy anything this month, but I did gather some business cards from people whose work intrigued or inspired me.<\/p>\n<p>I spent more than 5 hours taking an online Defensive Driving course. I do this every 3 years to get a discount on my car insurance, and to remind me of things I need to pay attention to when I&#8217;m behind the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>On the home front I also beamed and woven my next hand painted warp. I&#8217;ll show you more in the next post, when I have both this and the first wet finished and pressed. I&#8217;ll just tell you that as much as I didn&#8217;t like how the rayon warp looked or worked, I loved the silk warp twice as much. Now you&#8217;ll have to come back to see it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a somewhat lengthy break, I&#8217;m working on my next baby wrap warp.
