Tried to wind the warp per Joan Near method. Effed up, you need TWO crosses.

Threaded heddles.
9/6/24 Sleyed the Reed & tied on. Caught two threading errors, made a string heddle & uncrossed a thread. I may be struggling with my back beam from my winding error.

Went and had fun, but no sale.

Used my new to me warping mill. What a treat!
Got a very nice, tight, wind onto the back beam. Use the cross segments to wind on.
10/23/24 finished threading heddles. I am 15 threads short on my warp. I cannot count! Anyway they will be alright, just 1” off on the width.
10/24 I spent the morning sleying the reed. I ended up having to move everything over 8 dents to center it. I got a nice tight tie-on by using a lease stick as a tie- on rod.
10/27 working on the main body. The Huck looks nice.
10/30 Finished the first towel. Looks to be about 3” longer than the draft said. I am getting 15 ppi, should be 17.
11/2 finished towel 2.
11/4 ran out of warp at 1/2 of the 3rd towel. Pulled it off. The 2 completed towels are really long. That is my beat. I need to zigzag, full & hem.
11/29 completed 2 towels. All hemmed. I’m getting better at hemming.

I think it’s goin to be a leash.

11/12 finished winding the warp. I won at yarn chicken!
11/13 I’m on the quest for the perfect back to front beam on my loom. I’ve got my Peggy Ostercamp book open.
11/14 finished winding onto the back beam. Looks good. On to threading heddles.
11/16. So close to finishing my threading. I am 9 heddles short on my first shaft. I have no idea why. I can’t count!
11/18 finished sleying the reed and recentering it thi morning. I did the initial tie on to check the threading.
11/19 found and fixed several twisted threads. Got through the hem all the way through to 1st set of the main body.
11/23 finished weaving the 1st towel. It is 1.75” too long. I am going to do 1” hems on the next one. I will have to cut .5” off to make the length match. Hopefully I will be able to get 3 more towels off this warp. Idk.
11/29 completed 3 towels today. All hemmed up.
