It’s been a while since I’ve done any weaving. I’ve had the warp for another denim floor rug cut and ready for a while now. On the weekend I finally put it onto the loom:

I had to cut up another pair of jeans to add a little variety to the shades of denim strips I had:

And then I got weaving:

I’d forgotten how hard you need to beat when you’re weaving with rags – and especially denim. But I soon remembered, and that I have to brace the front of the loom against my stomach or else I’ll beat the loom right off the table!

I also remembered how soothing weaving was. Even warping the loom was relaxing. I think I’ll be glad I finally got this project going in the next couple of weeks, as I head toward the delivery date for my next book, then get through our kitchen renovation.
