the never ending warp-the end

This is like a Mozart symphony.You think it's ending, getting ready to applaud and there is a turn, a coda of a coda and it goes on.But it finally comes to an end .

This is the original project for the never ending warp, a double weave stripped scarf aka the first woven :) It didn't turn bad at all although it has not been wet finished yet.It's been raining a lot over here and i wanted to conclude the saga. As you may guess i am into sustainability and depend on sunshine to dry the laundry.

Here is the original tie up and it was woven tromp as writ. Lovely old fashioned term!

Now back to the warping board to finish the new warp.This one has been more judiciously planned and there will not be much remaining warp after finishing the project .Famous last words.

we interrupt the weaving briefings..

To do a bit of serious eating.Yesterday we hopped on a train and after a pleasant one hour ride we were in Tarragona one of our favorite day trip spots. Passion Thursday if you may.
Lovely weather, excellent food ,great wine and a walk around the countless Roman ruins, as it was at times the second most important city of the empire, right after Rome itself.

While having lunch in a lovely restaurant terrace in a plaza surrounded by the ruins i couldn't help thinking about my friend Passionate Eater and how she would have enjoyed this. She gave me an award last week and i wanted to do something special for her, as it really rocks when someone outside the weaving-textile world enjoys your blog.
Therefore photos here for your vicarious enjoyment :) :) And for everyone else!

More weaving tomorrow.

the never ending warp epilog part2

When i said starting from the end i meant last woven first shown.This is the first woven sample.A much more conservative approach. Kept the same wefts
. original tie up
As for the tie up it was transformed with a diagonal break.
Then just started rotating it to see how the patterning was affected by the tessellations.
Actually the sample is horizontal and not vertical as shown. But i wanted a polaroid shot :)
