Notes

20 August: put this bad boy on the loom. there were some interesting tangles in the warp (too many threads in my hand) and one of my columns is wrong (dddll instead of ddlll) but it’s fine.

21 August: weaving two variations per square, just to get as many samples as possible.
Row 1 is D/L then L/D
Row 2 is DD/LL then one pick of yellow to mix up the sheds, then LL/DD
Row 3 is DD/L then LL/D
Row 4 is 4D/4L, one pick of yellow, then 4L/4D
Row 5 is 3D/1L then 3L/1D
Row 6 is 3D/2L then 3L/2D
Row 7 is D/L/DD/L then L/D/LL/D

I showed the gamp to Martin and asked him to pick his favorite row for a scarf. He told me he didn’t expect it to be so hard to decide, so I think his scarf will be all of them, in a rosepath-pattern like mine.

started on the scarf! almost done with the first two sections

08-25-2023

at the halfway point on the scarf! using the middle section to play around with reversing the color and weave sequences

08-27-2023

finished weaving the scarf! still needs fringe twisting, waiting on the post office to make that possible.

08-28-2023

while tying back on after cutting the scarf off, the warp continues to be naughty. I found two threads that had unthreaded themselves and snuck into a heddle a couple blocks down.

the “ribs” on the towel were done by swapping half of the plainweave for basketweave, so a plainweave (1357, 2468) became (1257, 3468)
