Remember this? It's the project that took me months to get to this place. Everything from warping to threading went wrong.
Now it looks like this. This is me trying real hard not to stomp all over it. Silly me thought I could adjust the heddle count after it had all been tied on in order to even out the tension and......it didn't go well. It all slipped off in a tangle of metal and yarn. I pulled it all out and cut it off. Sometimes things are just not meant to be. I should have gotten the message sooner.
I had a momentary fit of pique and then went and pulled out some scraps and started over.
This time I'm going back to familiar territory using materials and techniques I like and have had success with. I never liked anything about that last project. It felt good to stuff it into the trash.
I do confess that it wasn't all that project's fault. I should have done a better job at counting off these things instead of just leaving the ones I had from the last project on the loom. I will next time.

Good job not stomping on the yarn and heddle mess (and it looks quite stompable)! You got right back on the loom with a better project.
ReplyDeleteI don't weave (probably a good thing), but that has got to be frustrating. Glad you are going with something familiar and known. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHow good to be done with the old project and start fresh!!
ReplyDeleteFits of pique are common here. You are a better woman, keeping yours momentary.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you're getting a new project going. I know that you haven't been happy with the old one. Sorry I haven't been online much. We're having too much fun, but I am thinking of all of you here in blogland.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,

The color combination for the new project looks lovely. It's hard to go wrong with blue and green. Sometimes it is best to let a project go and often what a relief.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I begin to lose my mind and think maybe I need a new hobby like spinning or weaving. So far luckily I have always come to my senses. I love to read all about your adventures.
