Notes

SUPER excited for this one! I love skeletons! I love Halloween! smile

I drew this one up in the weaving program before I even ordered the 16s loom!

Summer and winter threading! 3 to 16 and back down to 3 again but don’t repeat those blocks.

Try 10/2 or something small sett at 24 epi to get more skeletons. Mix with 6/2 cotton.

08-18-2023

26 blocks x 4 ends per block = 104 ends total each figure

104 x 4 figures = 416 ends total

426 ends, 6 yards, about 17” across

208 ends on the warp board = 52x4

Small skeleton draft is for 8 shaft (or 9 shaft) skeletons for fun!!

I also want to try weaving a yeti on this warp because it’s the perfect set up for a 24 block summer and winter weave!

08-22-2023

Figured out a cute yeti pattern and I’m in love!!! heart_eyes I also decided to do rainbow yetis for fun instead of just all blue!

Trying out yetis with acrylic yarn! I had to reshape the head because it was too stretched at this epi. It’s cute, but I think I like the original better. Might need to work this pattern more later to do it again with acrylic, like loosen the sett but use the old pattern. I like the really round heads best!

Made the face rounder to use with acryllic at this sett! I like it so much better! It’s the top row of the bottom picture.
