Long Weekend
First: proof that I did indeed finish sewing the belt and weaving the
garters for K's garb in time. Early, even. By like...seven hours.
And he looks stellar in everything together, although we do still need to overdye it so he's less screamingly neon. It's very apparent when he's near other people in garb.
And I'm learning to use a real loom at last, with heddles and threading sequences and everything and it's very exciting. I have a five-color sequence to set up for a color/pattern gamp (it's hard to tell in photos, but there are distinct orange and red sections between the yellow and purple). So far I've wound a warp (with only one, very fixable, mistake. I'm delighted by this) and learned how to attach it to the front beam so it doesn't go anywhere, and I've sleyed the reed. Next is threading. I think.
(wheeeeeeee!)
