Warped!
By ignoring the housework, shortening my training ride, and not bothering to eat, I got my warping finished today. The loom is now dressed and ready to weave...all that's left is to wind the bobbins, load the shuttle, and...start weaving!
I did break two warp threads in the orange, but am hoping that's not too bad...I tied the ends together to join them temporarily, I figure I'll fix the thread as I come to it.
Whew! I'm exhausted. Warping the loom took something like nine hours, most of it spent on my knees threading the loom. Painstaking, concentrated attention--not unpleasant (except for my knees), but definitely took lots of mental focus.
Now I think I'll go eat, fold clean laundry, take the trash out, do the dishes, and all the other stuff I've been neglecting.
THEN I'll come back and start weaving. :-)
