Shockingly, my exacting technique of measuring my warp yarn by how many times I wrap it around my bedposts lead to a finished length of fabric that is not quite the right size for any of my intended uses. However, it mostly works as a mat for my bedside table that actually lives in my living room because why not.
The May show at the gallery I volunteer has a theme of patterns, and I think I’m going to weave a submission. My first thought was a sort of bold, wide, zig-zaggy twill that spanned the width of the fabric, but after having had a look through Inventive Weaving on a Little Loom I may do short sections of patterned weaves instead. Maybe. I have to get a move on. There’s no size requirement for finished works so my super-calculated and surgically planned technique for warp winding will be fine, but it’s due by April 9th. I’m thinking a small tapestry but could also frame it. We’ll see when we get there.
