revelations

threading back to front is a lot less stressful than the opposite. all the yarns are perfectly smooth and under control and twisted threads are almost eliminated because you can see them coming. threading  goes very fast because it is also more comfortable do work, at least on this loom.

plus i developed a rig that is a lot better than masking tape. DUH so evident! i'll start weaving this afternoon if life doesn't get in the way.

other things i discovered:
awesome lace and lacemaker
soulful clothes
and for those of us on facebook this  could be a cause of concern.

fitting today

 toile is finished. i need to do some fitting to it, my waist is not that big, really! beats me why a skirt with a back zipper has an elastic waist. i would have said one or the other wouldn't you?
my dislike of elastic waists has no limits and i'm doing away with this one, so i have to take in the waist and reinforce it with some iron on interfacing.
albeit all that i like the style and how it turned out. the bad news is that iwill have to buy commercial fabric for it because my handwoven is not wide enough. that or buy a new  wider loom ;-)
