The quilting drama wasn't the only crazy thing happening last week. I also had scarf drama going on. By the looks of this, it would seem that everything was going along just fine but it wasn't. It was too narrow. I figured that I needed at least another 2 inches in width to make it useful as a scarf.
I un-wove what I had done and then warped another couple of inches of yarn. My plan was to try to add on to what I had. I've seen people do this but I never have done it so it was a bit scary.
I had to wind what I had on there already to the back of the loom so I could add the new yarn.
Then I had to wind it back to the front so I could thread it and tie it on.
It seems like it worked. I've got 7 inches of width now which seems like a better size for a man's scarf. After I had that sorted out, I would have liked to have been further along but a certain naughty quilt and a leaking kitchen sink took up a great deal of time this week. Quilt's almost finished, sink's still leaking. Sigh.....
It's like you're speaking a foreign language when you talk weaving. I'm fascinated and would love to be able to do it myself, but it's seems so mysterious and brilliant. I think it's going to make a great scarf. Blessings and hugs, Betsy

That definitely looks like something I would mess up rather quickly! Glad it worked for you. Good luck with the sink....
