You can see the pattern emerge on this fabric very quickly. Here is the first few inches of the scarf. Instead of just repeating the pattern throughout the full width, I extended the pattern on each edge to give it a one inch border on each side to frame the central pattern. #weaving

When weaving point draft twill patterns, the pattern reverses on itself. If you read the introduction to that section in Handweaver's Pattern Directory it will inform you that because of the reversal, these patterns require a floating selvedge.

If you don't read this section or already know this fact, a few inches into weaving you will discover the problem, unpick all your work, and improvise a weighted floating selvedge. Ask me how I know.

In the warp zone again. This time I'm making a black linen (warp) and black wool (weft) scarf. I'm using a standard "Ms and Ws" point draft twill pattern from Handweaver's Pattern Directory pg 90. #weaving

"PootPoot to the Toots!" he was grinchishly humming.
"They're finding out now that my instance is coming!"
"They're just waking up! I know just what they'll do!"
"Their mouths will hang open a minute or two,
Then the Toots down in Tootville will all post BooHoo!"
"That's a sight," grinned the Grinch, "That MUST simply be seen!"
So he paused. And the Grinch aimed his eye at his screen.

Then he did the same thing to whole federation
Leaving horrible posts and with no moderation!
It was quarter past dawn... All the Toots, still a-bed,
All the Toots, still asnooze when he posted and fled,
Flooded all of their timelines! The trolling! The hating!
The tags! And the teasing! The terror! The baiting!
Three thousand posts up! All were from his new server
He looked at his mentions with maniac fervor!

The Brewer's Advent calendar from Costco is a personal treat every holiday season. Each day there's a new obscure German beer I can't find locally. 23 more days of this! #beer #advent

My 3D printer has been busy making things small enough to fit in my son's advent calendar. For starters I went with tiny articulated snakes. #3dprinting

Whew, just under the radar but I managed to submit my @socallinuxexpo talks. If you are procrastinating like I did, you only have until TOMORROW to get your talks in! #SCALE20x

And when Cindy-Lou Toot went to bed with her cup,
He went to his instance and fired it back up!
Then the last thing he did was make his follows higher
By just spawning a bunch of new bots, the old liar.
On his timelines were nothing but memes, trolls and fire.
And the one speck of kindness he left in a post,
Was a compliment shortly preceding a roast.

"Why, my sweet little mod," the rich billionaire lied,
"There's a bug in my instance and hackers inside."
"So I'm taking it down for some upgrades, my dear."
"I'll fix it up there. Then I'll bring it back here."
And his fib fooled the mod. The she shook her mod head,
And he turned off his instance, and she went to bed.

The Grinch had been caught by this tiny Toot daughter,
Who'd got out of bed for a cup of cold water.
She stared at the Grinch and said, "New instance, why,"
"Why are you tainting our nice timeline? WHY?"
But, you know, that old Grinch was so smart and so slick,
He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick!

The final tote fabric is done! This makes four different totes I was able to make from the same warp. This fabric I'm going to set aside and make into a tote some time after I'm done with the rest of my holiday projects. I'm definitely ready to start on something else. Next up: twill patterned scarf. #weaving
