I spent quite a bit of this weekend #weaving because I was so close to finishing my first rug. Late last night I reached the end! The green rows are to hold the fringe until I can secure them off the loom. Now I just need to take it off the loom and perform finishing steps.
Of course the yarn for my rug project would arrive the day after I start #weaving a different project. I'll have to figure out how I'm going to split my time.
Warping for my first project on my floor loom: a plaid scarf to match the tweed one I made my wife. #weaving
I'm making progress on my krokbragd rug. Last night I completed a single run of the color pattern, so from here on it's just a matter of repeating it until I get a 36 inch rug. #weaving
The plaid table runner is complete. It's imperfect, and needs ironing, but I'm still pretty happy with how it turned out. #weaving
Last night I discovered I misinterpreted the pattern for a tartan I'm #weaving because it wasn't clear how the pattern repeats. There are 4 additional blue threads including in the warp. The end result will be fine, I doubt anyone will notice, but I'll always know it's wrong.
I've crossed another #weaving milestone: I now have an account on the Scottish Tartans Authority so I can get accurate tartan threadcount information.
Now the scarf is off the loom and I just finished the edges. Now it just needs a hand wash and it will be done. #weaving
Making progress on the scarf. This pattern calls for sparse spacing in the weft (6ppi) with a finer yarn and it's weird seeing these gaps. Apparently it all fills in when off the loom and washed. #weaving
