Day 251: Two feet and about four inches. That represents roughly a third of the McLeod shawl done and dusted. My goal has been to weave at least one colour unit (defined as a full sequence of either black or yellow) and, Merry permitting, some days I've been getting through a full repeat of the two. This is definitely a labour of love. The width of the piece extends my reach to the maximum, and because my stick shuttles aren't as long as the warp is wide, I have to coax each pass through carefully, reaching into the warp to nudge the stick along until I can capture it on the other side. Even so, the work is progressing faster than I'd expected, but in between sessions, I like to sit down with a project which isn't quite so demanding. To that end, I have all three inkle looms loaded, and am also working on the zanshiori which is on the rigid heddle. Never a dull moment around here!
