Risky Business

 

This is something you never want to see. Scissors and tweezers on a weaving project. It usually means something has gone terribly wrong. I thought I would try and squeak out a few more inches to even up the pattern on both sides of the towel but I ran out of room to do it and the last four inches were noticeably wonky so out they had to come. 

I couldn't easily un-weave it because apparently I didn't follow the pattern too well either in that wonky section so I had to snip and pull the weft out being very careful not to cut the warp until it was time. When it was finally time, it was a big relief to get it over with. Snipping never felt so good.

It may be liberated but it's going into time out. I can't even look at it right now. 

That's all the loom waste I had on the back end. Weavers, you know how foolish that was. Never again. 

And....when I do get around to trimming and hemming that monster towel, I'm going to take the scissors to this guy too. I've tried wearing it but it's just too long. I hate to lose all that pretty fringe but it's not doing anyone any good in the closet.
