Cornerstones In Green

Well, what I said and what I did were two entirely different animals. I was very tired after winding on, threading 399 warp threads through heddles and the reed, tying on the warp bundles, inserting a header and adjusting the tension, so my post to social media read, "The new warp is on Daisy, and I've installed the 'slicky cord' I use to space it. I've even wound some bobbins, but I probably won't start weaving (or seriously, anyway) until tomorrow." With that, I shut the computer down, stood up and walked immediately to the loom and wove the first motif. I find that having Daisy in the living room is a good motivator. I'm far more likely to fill a bored moment ("moment" being defined as 15-20 minutes in this case) with a stint at the loom. Appropriate to the upcoming celebration of St. Patrick's Day (although that wasn't why I chose the colour theme), these "Cornerstones" are actually three shades of green (warp, pattern thread and tabby).
