Day 122: I am finally done with weaving the band to trim the crackle-weave tablecloth, 14-plus yards of it. I wove in two pieces because I didn't like the way the panels matched up on the tablecloth and decided in the end that I should cover the seams with a band, and of course I had only measured enough warp to go around the perimeter. The designs vary throughout the length of both pieces, with a repeating "separator" between them. This was often done when weaving Scandinavian bands, maybe to keep the weaver from becoming bored? Just a thought! Even with the constant changes, I was pretty tired of this project by the time I took it off the loom. The finished tablecloth will be donated to my favourite environmental group for their upcoming auction if I get it done in time. I already have another 8-yard warp wound on Nelda (my Glimakra band loom), and I'll be threading it today. A naked loom is something I cannot abide.
