Making Progress

Well, I finally "fit into my busy schedule" some weaving related activity. Today I finished tying on all those warp threads I had. Then I wound the warp onto the warp beam and tied it on to the breast beam. Ahhhh... the loom is warped and ready to go. Next I wove in the header cord. Now it's ready for me to start weaving the table runner.

I just have to wind the weft thread onto the bobbins to put into the boat shuttle and I will be ready to begin weaving. Awhile ago I bought myself an electric (cordless) screwdriver that works really well for this purpose (with a small modification).

I can't show pictures at this time, but will be able to when I have a computer at home again.
