And now what?

Moving onward from this batch of fabric, I think I will weave up the double-happiness ribbon before sampling for the eternity knots.  Because the double-happiness ribbon will be the main focal point of the coat, the eternity knot fabric needs to be designed with the double-happiness ribbon in mind.  Hence, weaving up the double-happiness ribbon first.

For those who don’t recall, here’s a photo of the double-happiness character sample:

And here’s a photo of the double-happiness symbol draped where it will go on the coat.

First, though, I need to repair my loom.  The solenoid for shaft #23 is failing and needs replacement.
