Gasping for Air – Extreme Warping

My last warp was gasping for air. I took it to the very limit and could be termed extreme warping. Everytime I moved the warp on I had threads snapping all over the place. So I just **calmly** retied every one to push it to it’s last.

You can see in the first photo just how close the end of the warp is to the back of the heddles. In the second photo the snapped and repaired ends in their disarray. But it was really worth it to push this warp as I completely finished five full length scarves or rather scelts.

The main problem with loom weaving is you can’t sit with your family watching TV at night. So I knitted a so cute hat for a new baby in a couple of nights this week. It is so cute that I wish I could handle making a pair of baby socks to match.

I’ve also come across this amazing weaver site. Cathy Bolding’s Digital Atelier Her work is Jacquard woven using her own photographic images, manipulated in Photoshop and prepared in ArahWeave. Truly inspirational and amazing.

So cute knitted hat with hand dyed bamboo embroidered
flowers.
