Finally got my loom threaded and I wove one napkin. It looked like I had a threading error, so I cut it off and washed that sample to check on the size. Corrected that error and wove another napkin and wondered why I had such long floats, then I noticed that I didn't have one treadle tied up correctly and it looked like another threading error! So I was in the process of correcting that error when I decided to stop and write on the blog. Am I the only one who has these problems? I gave my neighbor one of my dishtowels and pointed out an error in the weave, she said,"don't tell me about an errors, if I can't see them they don't exist." I like that except I can see them. I am going to lunch with my sisters this afternoon, volunteering at RSVP and then helping my neighbor decide if she can recover a bench for her daughter. I have recovered a few things but I am not an expert about it. She is an excellent sewer but not as sure about recovering. She thinks I do a great job. Hah

I love the look of all the yarn straight and tight. |
I always put in a spacer thread that I take out before I hem. This is the place where I fold my fabric. I always hem by machine if it is something that will be used and washed by machine. I assume napkins will be washed and dried by machine.

First example washed and second one bigger and unwashed. |
