Notes

The color in the top photo is the closest to the true color.

I reduced the draft to fit my loom since it is narrower than the weaving width of the project in Weavers Craft. I have a weaving width of 36 inches, so took out 4 of the repeats of the Ms & Os. I have the 4 plain weave borders and 15 repeats of the draft. I also am not going to weave it quite as long since it is narrower. It will still be a nice baby blanket.

I am using my safety pin temples to improve the selvages. I sleyed 2 ends in one of the dents, but it seems to be ok and since it is in the middle I didn’t want to untie and resley. I guess I will find out if that was a mistake or not, but so far at three repeats of the pattern it is ok.

I wove for about 58 inches.

Off the loom the width is about 30 inches and length is 52 inches.
