Hopsack exercise and practice

Still taking one pattern at a time for self education from Dixon`s "Handweavers Pattern Directory", I chose this time as inspiration to go with Hopsack on pages 46 & 47. I first applied the draft on Weave Design and put in approximate colors of stash I still have left to work from.  I will most likely send this sampler run to stepdaughter in Old Town, ME. and she can use them on quilts she sews. This may be the last weaving I do for a while as I can no longer afford early retirement and have been applying for jobs. I had an interview this past Friday and was told I was their best qualified applying candidate so far. Once again, when I start a practice weave the first time as a new item my mind seems to deviate very quickly to "what other alternate colors and treadling can I do with this at the same time". That is why you see different close photos and a much varied sampler run.
