- Aha! I have a screw loose (on the loom 😉). More than once actually. This explains why my weaving has been skewed and it has been difficult to maintain an even warp tension. Time to get out the toolbbox.
- #TBT to when I was strictly weaving floor rugs with wide rag strips cut on the grain and using really big shuttles. My how things have changed around the studio.
- Of all the books I have that show how to do a handwoven edge, none specify the angle at which you should hold the bundle of ends you are weaving across. I've been experimenting and it seems like this is it. Trial and error is slower than having a mentor to explain these subtleties.
