thank you Carie ♥ :)

i had originally just planned to do a simple little low-key brown/black headscarf... but i'd blended each section as i went along, and by the time i'd gotten into that second light-rusty-brown and realised what it was making me think of, i realised "okay i'm doomed, where is that red?" haha ;) so much for plans....

Is your warp board 1 yard across, or 1/2 yard? I am thinking if it is 1 yard across, you are working on a 7 yard warp here! I love it that you thought to photograph the warping process. I am inspired. I'll do the same on my next project, although I am not sure my colors are going to be as vibrant—

thank you for the compliment Sally ♥ :) this is actually the underside of my Kromski Fiddle rigid-heddle loom (only an itty-bitty thing!).. the sizing is probably distorted a little in the pic, its only 4 yds of warp...

i've been cut-off from most of my looms (they are all in storage) so i've been limited to this little rigid-heddle guy and weaving most everything tabby and its making me go hog-wild and buy a ton of pretty pearl cottons to warp with haha ;)

Love the weaving image update and seeing it on the loom now! Is it as much fun to weave as it looks in the photos?

thank you Sally... i think it might be more "fun" once i am able to get more of it out of my head and here in my hands ;) for now it just has that anxious-itchy feeling to it where i look at what little i have woven so far and think "more thread! i need MORE!!" haha ;)

Really beautiful work, and I love your color choices!  Followed the link here from your little Kindle cover, and must say you have most certainly inspired this new weaver... Thanks for sharing.

I love it!  I really like how they blend.

Notes

this warp is a bit narrow, about 7 inches... i warped it a bit gradually/unevenly so that the bands of colors blended a little into one another... the black & wine bamboos are warped one thread per dent, and the brown & rust are 2 per dent.... weaving entire length of this warp in tabby weave with the brown pearl cotton as weft...

plan to re-warp the loom with same threads, similar patterning, and weave those lengths with the rusty-cotton and then possibly rewarping 3rd time to weave with wine/burgandy but not sure i will go that far, we'll see..... if i do, i'm going to not use the satin-bamboo as weft (its too heavy to do what i want) will substitute probably another thin pearl cotton in its place....
