Playing with stripes, warp tension, and beating. I'll use what I learn to plan the trio of tallitot I'll make for our kid, my husband and me, with the kid's bar mitzvah coming up at the end of the year. ("Tallitot" is the plural of "tallit," the Jewish prayer shawl that is not related what is more generally called a "prayer shawl" among crafters). #YearOfMaking2023 #weaving #weavings #stripes #amweaving #weaversofinstagram #4shaftweaving https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZw2SUprST/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

8/365 Y'all I DID IT. So many episodes of "The Walking Dead." I finished re-threading the heddles yesterday, sleyed the reed and tied on. And today I made a plan for stripes and finally -- FINALLY -- started weaving. And exactly 4" in, a warp thread broke 🤣😭😭😭. As if I needed to learn any more lessons from this project OMG. Off to read up on what to do next. But still -- this progress feels great!

4/365 Beginning to correct the warp. It's such a pain, and I definitely used #YearOfMaking2023 to nudge me to finally get started. Just a little bit every day... #weaving #weaversofinstagram #amweaving https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm-0fE8LvM-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A very lazy New Year's Day after a tween sleepover, I finished a mediocre novel and knitted. But I was thinking about this warp I need to re-thread because I twisted the strands 🙄. I intend to get started tomorrow, with the last bit of winter break as my fuel. 1/365 #yearofmaking2023 #yearofmaking #weaversofinstagram #weaving #leclercartisat #warpingtheloom https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5pBDELzYz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
