This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Half-Warped
Day 89: Between participating in the Park's winter fitness challenge and trying to keep up with daily tasks and obligations, personal time is at a premium. Today, I managed to get the warping of the loom halfway finished.
Here you see the warp wound onto the back beam and the 288 ends threaded through the heddles. Next up, I will mount the reed in the beater bar (disassembled to facilitate the threading process) and will bring each end through a single dent (slot). When that task is finished, the warp will be tied to the cloth beam and I will be ready to start weaving (hopefully tomorrow).
