Thanks

After weaving 55" of the undulating twill with the gray, one end has a trop as writ section using each color in the warp. I will post pictures when I get it done as I am about to start the last color bar, then making fringe. I expect all of that to be done tomorrow.

Problems, Problems - OY!

I just took it off the loom and there are lots of floats, vertical and horizontal! I knew I was having issues with the bamboo sticking to adjoining threads (and yes, I admit it - tension was an issue too) and had to unweave many an inch to fix those I found. I guess I did not find them all - ha, ha. 

Oh well, I guess when I wear it, I won't be pointing out these *design elements*.

It depends on how it turns

It depends on how it turns out. As I am still in novice stage - I refer those things you call *design element* as "handcrafting indicators" since we are not producing commercial grade fabric items.

Good term

I like "Handcrafting Indicators" for things I make. In the engineering world they are design elements or undocumented features but yours sounds more artsy!
