Tying One On

 

Before we left for Detroit last week, I had finished all the threading for that towel I'm working on. 

This week I got to spend some time with it and of course, completely goofed it up. Since I had all the cones still sitting here I decided to go with the plaid but I read the directions wrong and started towel one when I really wanted towel three so at this point I'm just making it up as I go along to get something plaid-like. 

What surprised me was the emerging design. It's a very simple treadling pattern but what's coming from it is pretty darn fancy. This draft is from Handwoven and it's the Gift Exchange Towels by Pat Bullen.  You can get the kit from Cotton Clouds. You can make three different towels from one warp but I'm only making one since the amount of towels I already have here is ridiculous. The Mister just rolls his eyes when he notices I am working on another.
