I am guessing your Halloweave challenge was "going wide"? It looks like you are having success!

Nice blanket. One day I hope I can work something wide like that on my 4 shaft Nilus.

I am a 4H newbie and would love to know more about the threading sequence, tie-up and treadling you used.  Looks like a perfect baby blanket pattern!

 The weaving part of the blanket is done. Now to take it off the loom and finish it. I won't have time till Sat but I'll get there.

 The challange for me was to weave something besides rag rugs! The blanket is 33 inches wide and 39 inches long and just wove in a basic basket weave. 1,2 then 3 and 4. THe warp was set up for like a log cabin warp with a blue on first heddle,Brown on second heddle and white on 3 and 4. It changes every 20 warps to make blocks. I had enough warp left to do the blanket which is varagated Peaches and Cream yarn. You can only see a little of the warp or the changes but enough to make a pattern. As soon as I get it off the loom and the fringe tied I'll take some more pictures that will show the color of the warp in the fringe and more detail. I still have about 4 feet of warp left so I'm not sure what I am doing with that. Maybe the Inkle loom will get some more thread.

 Thanks for the comments, it has been a fun project.

Nice job. It looks like it will be super soft.
