Chugging along

I spent several hours winding warp yesterday, so I am about 3/4 of the way through beaming the warp.  I’ve also finished another set of dye samples (cooling in the dyebath as I type), and have designed/chosen a few of the patterns I want to try:

These obviously need to be converted to a tied weave, but I wanted to gather some patterns first.

I also want to design a very simple pattern of wavy lines so I can see what happens when I use imagery in the tie-down, and am intrigued by the possibility of weaving a taqueté design of puzzle pieces, in two colors.  But I need to learn how to design taqueté first!  Lillian Whipple has an excellent article in WeaveZine on designing summer and winter and taqueté, so I will start by rereading that.

Other than that, not much going on.  I’m still recovering from the conference, so my energy isn’t quite up to usual.
