Day 65: In between Christmas baking, gift-wrapping and so on, I am managing to put a few inches on the current weaving project each evening. It progresses a bit more slowly than the hand towels I took off the loom two weeks ago, but nevertheless, I am nearly done with a second placemat of eight. At this point, I have not decided if I will make more using the same weft pattern or even the same threads. That's one of the greatest joys of weaving traditional bird's-eye: the versatility. Given this threading, fifteen different treadlings resulting in attractive designs are available to me. A small change in weight of weft can further expand the resultant appearance of the finished cloth.
