The second weaving less was held last Sunday. I warped the Katie loom for the first time.

I got it done just as the class ended, so I stayed a little longer to start weaving and make sure I understood how to weave overshot. My first attempt was wrong, thanks to a very silly misreading of the draft, but I had the gist of it and when I got home I unwove and started afresh. It now looks like it’s supposed to:

Unfortunately, my back pain was a lot worse the next day. I started to worry that I couldn’t even weave now, until I reminded myself that normally I wouldn’t spend 5 1/2 hours at the loom, and certainly not while doing the more back-straining task of warping. The weaving shouldn’t be as problematic, especially if I keep to my usual habit of short bursts of work. The next class isn’t for several weeks, so I’ll easily finish this in time – and maybe start another overshot project.
