I needed to clear my brain, and my plate, so I could move onto more hand painting and weaving for my jury photos.  <\/p>\n<p>I decided to wind the warp just for the one ordered scarf, a very unusual thing for me since it is not time efficient.  But I knew I wouldn&#8217;t use this piece for jurying and had to get those things done.  <\/p>\n<p>Here I am at the beginning of the weaving.  Spice tencel for the warp, black tencel for the weft.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/start-of-SM-scarf.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8140\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/start-of-SM-scarf.jpg\" alt=\"start of SM&#039;s scarf\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/start-of-SM-scarf.jpg 338w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/start-of-SM-scarf-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/start-of-SM-scarf-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All is going well, although my knee does not like weaving this pattern.  I have one treadle that requires that I lift 7 harnesses &#8211; that&#8217;s heavy.  If I reverse the tie up so I only lift 1 treadle, I pay for it with all the other treadles, having to lift 5 instead of 3.  Not worth it.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m weaving along, making good progress, feeling positive.  <\/p>\n<p>Then I notice that one of the hooks fell off the 7-lift treadle and it&#8217;s only lifting 6.  My leg always knows and alerts me immediately if one falls off if it&#8217;s lifting 3 or 4 or 5 treadle, but apparently lifting 7 was heavy enough that it couldn&#8217;t tell the difference when it was &#8216;only&#8217; lifting 6.  And the visual for this difference only shows on the underside of the cloth, so I didn&#8217;t notice it when it happened.  In the photo the orange drawn lines point to the last correct treadling and the first incorrect treadling. See the missing dark horizontals?<\/p>\n<p>Ok, so I have to do some un-weaving.  No big deal.  Examine the cloth to see how much I have to remove. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/I-see-the-error.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8141\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/I-see-the-error.jpg\" alt=\"I find the error\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/I-see-the-error.jpg 338w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/I-see-the-error-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/I-see-the-error-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!  <em><strong>27 inches?!?!?  Really?!?!?  <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>If I&#8217;d done my &#8216;usual&#8217; and warped for 2 or 3 scarves I would have simply called the length I&#8217;d woven so far waste and started the custom weave anew.  But I&#8217;d only warped for 1 scarf so that option was closed to me.  <\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t going to un-weave 27&#8243;, but I did have to cut and remove the weft from those 27&#8243;.  Then re-weave that many inches <em>again<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, being the stubborn person I am, I decided to just keep going, moving forward.  You can bet I paid very careful attention to that 7-harness treadle.  I also changed the tie-up so that my right leg lifted it instead of my left leg with the funky knee. <\/p>\n<p>I also committed to not weaving this pattern again, or other weave structures that require such a lift.  Re-confirmed for me that although I do have harness envy, loving weave patterns that require 12, 16, or more shafts, I will never purchase a loom with that many harnesses.  Period.  <\/p>\n<p>So I finished the weaving last night.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/end-of-SM-scarf.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8139\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/end-of-SM-scarf.jpg\" alt=\"end of SM scarf\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/end-of-SM-scarf.jpg 338w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/end-of-SM-scarf-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/end-of-SM-scarf-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today I will cut it off the loom, twist the fringe, and do the wet finishing.
