Started weaving
I'm having to really concentrate to keep track of where I am on the treadling pattern. I have post-it notes on the front beam that I check off when I complete a section. I've un-wove (if that's a word) several times and REALLY confused myself. I can see a mistake in the picture that I never saw while weaving. I hope I can needle weave a correction later. Absolutely love seeing the pattern emerge.
Chris; Once you see those
Chris; Once you see those patterns start emerging on your loom...you won't ever want to stop weaving!!

PS Thanks for posting the weave draft.
Such a problem
I can't think about anything but weaving!!!
Congrats on getting your loom
Congrats on getting your loom warped and now reading a pattern and starting a project! I also love seeing the pattern emerge. You will find with a little more practice that you can tell which harness to lift next by which way you want your twill line to go. You're off to a great start!
concentration
I really have to concentrate, so I'm glad to know I will be able to tell eventually where I'm at with the design. Thank you for the encouragement. My selvedges are a little messy, but I'm trying not to obsess over that while I'm practicing.
Love the rainbow!
This is so eye-catching! I love the way the colors roll like a wave and then seem to dip under the black. Very nice!

my family is very impressed
And I'm a little proud of myself, too. :) Before I try overshot, I think I'm going to make another project in a different colorway by tying a new warp onto the waste yarn and pulling it through the heddles.
Great tip for new weaver
Someone (sorry, I've lost track of what thread it was on) suggested I use a paperclip and slide it along the draft as I weave -- such a simple suggestion, but it has given me so much confidence that I won't lose my place. Also, now that I'm weaving more and being confused less, I am starting to "get" the twill pattern and knowing how the pattern develops. Woo-hoo! I'm at 36" woven and I just wound 8 more bobbins while we still had power before the Nor'easter hits Maine. (I can weave without elecricity!)
Your project is beautiful!
Your project is beautiful! I've been too chicken to try a variegated warp so far but you may yet convince me to try it.
Thanks
I decided to try it with some inexpensive multi-colored acrylic. Sometimes it's hard to see on the ball if it's a long or short color change, but this worked out well for me. It's so soft and warm, I'm glad I made it for myself!
Clever
Clever way to wear and fasten with the button. Nice choice of colors.
so inspiring
Chris - *So* inspiring, as usual! I'm glad you decided to keep it. Love the button!
