flekka: Some weaving... http://flekka.com/2015/05/05/last-weaving-for-a-while/
flekka: Adding a color
flekka: Much better
flekka: Inlay. I am unraveling this one - don't like the edge...
flekka: More happy colors! This us packing much better. I am using the same sett as for the previous rug (12 threads per inch) but they are doubled up when weaving giving an effective sett of 6 threads per inch. So far so good.
flekka: Half if the new warp is tied. I downsized a bit, decided to do some samples on a narrower weave. I've never done this and I am a little worried how those knots are going to go through the reed...
flekka: Problems with the rug. But where did I go wrong?
flekka: These colors are making me happy...
flekka: Strips are about 1 in thick, then folded in half.
flekka: I like it a lot. There is a tiny little mistake there (can you see) but I call it a feature...

flekka: Step 1 done. Ice cream break.
flekka: I have no idea how many strips I will need, but here's start.
flekka: Warp chains. 312 ends, 90 in long each, almost 800 yards in total.
flekka: Rag rug weaving in near future.
flekka: After wet finish. Not much difference, except it's much softer. But I guess you can't expect much from acrylic
flekka: Before wet finish
flekka: I realized I never showed these. My very first weaving project...

flekka: Just about to be taken off the loom.
flekka: Project #2 on the loom. Not quite, almost. Using some stash yarn to practice before I invest in new.
flekka: First weaving project. I might be hooked...
flekka: Mystery loom. Any ideas?

flekka: The last of the inlay sampler. I ran out of the cream yarn. This is a lot of fun... Next up might be some coasters....
