First Weave on my new Loom

This is an adaptation of the Double Court Bob Minor pattern, page 50 of Sixty Scarves for 60 years.

I didnt have the 10/2 the pattern called for so I used some mill end yard that I had, which was 6/2 and I decided to try it in the 10 dent reed.  I am still a little unclear on taking a pattern that calls for one type of yarn and substituting a different size and how to change the sett.  I decided to not only try out my loom with this pattern but to try out modifying the pattern.  This pattern has a repeat of 16 threads in the threading so I wound 80 ends plus 2 for float which should be 5 repeats.  I decided to do a very short warp of just 2 yards.

Then I decided to try the warping technique in the video I borrowed from the Weaving Indiana Guild, Warping your Loom.  This is a front to back warping.  I sleyed the reed with it out of the loom sitting on the kitchen table then moved it to the loom

 Then from the back, I removed the rear beam so I could get to the heddles easier and threaded them then put the rear beam back on.  I then did the tie up of the treadles.

 And this is where I decided to stop for the evening.  I am going to edit this post each time I have an update to keep the project in one post heading.

Day 2, its going really quickly

 About 12 inches so far

 Now you can see a bunch on the front beam

It's HERE!!!

Taking the Baby Wolf out of the shipping crate

 Added the strings to the loom

 Attached the handle.

 Put on all the heddles!  I got 800, but I didnt put them all on.

NOW, I am off to finish up a little bit of email and then plan and maybe warp up a short project!

Overshot Weaving Class day 2 of 2

Today was day 2 of the weaving class.  Sadly, I forgot my camera so could not show you any pictures of the work in progress.  But, I can show you my finished weaving.  The first part of the weaving shows 4 different treddlings.  Then I tried using a navy for the tabby for just a little bit, I didnt like that.  Then I tried to use red for the tabby, the pattern was lost.  Then I wove a large white section and finished the rest of the length with treddle pattern #4 which I liked the most.

 Here is a close up of the larger woven section

 This is the whole length folded over.
