(If you click on the photos you can see more detail). I put on a 15 yard ivory and pale green striped warp back in November, made several scarves and now I'm looking at it all - trying to gather what I like and scatter what I don't like. I learned a lot about color, stripes, my way of composing, and other intangibles. I'd like to continue working with these colors and this "Forrest Crook's blanket weave" threading. It seems a shame to move on to a new threading when the ideas here are still fresh. On the other hand, it would be fun to do something completely different. One thing I will change is the sett- it's a little close for a scarf or shawl at 12 epi. This warp was also a little too wide for comfort (12 inches when finished.) If I redo this threading, I'll skip the stripes and go with 6 inches at 10 epi. I will also aim to make each piece more unified. The look of many of these pieces says "sampler" , which is not necessarily always desirable. I've got to get over this need to improvise every 6 inches or so.
Or not.

this is the warp in the process of being chained and taken off the reel.




to the left is the whole warp all chained. it looks like a large snake.




above is a view from the back of the studio looking west. what good light this is to work in.
