Ahhh

This is more like it! I didn't get a chance to get back to the tangles until tonight. After an hour or two I got it straightened out and started weaving. I only had one thread pop on me so I consider myself lucky.

Watching the colors interlace and the design building never fails to delight me. The magic continues when I take a peak from the side.

Your favorite blanket, double weave. I aim to weave one again. Remember the wool I bought at Webs? Now to find the time. I love the colors, Char. Can I expect this for Christmas?

Beautiful!!!

"only ... one thread pop" -- enough to make *me* burst into tears! Argh. I just don't have the patience for tricky warps.

Very cool.....very cool indeed.

Nothing like a fresh new warp, evenly tensioned and ready to go! The blanket looks so cozy!

It took me a minute to realize what I was looking at from the side: double-weave, cool!

Charlene,
Couldn't find an e-mail address to thank you for the great pics of double weave and the photos on warping your loom. I also have a 40" Macomber so I was interested on how you approached it. I had a Glimakra 8 years ago, and I used sticks from beam to beam on that as well, but had forgotten that, so thanks for the reminder. I am just returning to weaving after as many years...oh yes and the binder rings, you have helped me to remember quite a few things, Thanks again
Carol

When life actually slows down slightly for both of us (only slightly - any more would need miracles beyond my capability) I need to come up and have you show me how this works. I can simply not get my very simple head around this concept. I mean I can understand that it is possible, but not the mechanics.

Yum! Reminds me of pumpkin pie, autumn leaves, the smell of woodsmoke in the air -- C O Z Y !

How lovely, and what a great reward to see it taking shape after your "knotty" start.

You go girl!

Cheers,
Jane

Looking good! The autumn colours are wonderful. And so is getting out all of those tangles. I put on a warp once that looked like my loom had the flu. Not a pretty picture.
