240 threads already threaded and an origami package.

and taking a break. there are some things here that i wish they never change. went to the cutlery sharpening shop to get my scissors back. yes, places like that still exist.but not only do they exist, take a look at the wrapping. fancy origami using an old newspaper page the way it always has been done.

they are so quaint they are hip, now that everyone's recycling and re-purposing.

plan b on its way

threaded the border yesterday. easy peasy. this morning was at the loom at 8 a.m.but have just threaded 8 threads and foreseeing lots and lots of angst. the plan is to have 2 warps for double weave on 2 separate beams.threading from the back (for the second time in my life and why now?) and there's a small mess trying to pick threads in order from two separate crosses. to add on to that  the colors are almost the same. why double weave you then ask. i wanted different  texture so one warp is linen and the other silk.

nothing like working against the clock to get me in an exploratory mood. SIGH. 

those central 600 threads are going to make me sweat bullets, i'm telling you.

just needs some finishing touches and i can call  Plan A done.it will rest for a while to see if it needs something else. after that, beauty shots.
Plan B is on the beaming stage,threading today.
