another adventure of the kamikaze weaver

weaving along planC. the border was-note the tense- silk and was more of a p.i.t.a. that what i wanted to deal with, especially with my time constrictions. so i was time to call the kamikaze weaver!!
the border threads were not on the warp beam, but on live tensioning so the whole move was not very complicated.

 i treadled a plain weave shed, inserted the sticks to keep the order, pulled the border threads forward and began tying on a new border of 30/2 ecru cotton. after that i wove a couple of plain weave shots,
 pinned the new border to the body of the weaving to close the gap and went on weaving. not too elegant, but efficient as an executive secretary.

the grungy border of the photos are full of double intentions!
