Ok . So since the weather has been changing, I now have some more obvious time to 'play' with some designs that I have stored in my head:) Damask, in particular, has been a favorite of mine to look at and I really feel the urge to use my loom to create tapestry like scarves and shawls. I don't want anything too heavy as I really like the feel of tencel , bamboo, and I would eventually like to switch to silk for my finer works. I am still in the learning stage though and I hope to always remain in the learning stage. The damask pattern that I have been toying with, I like but, I lose a lot of detail the more I stretched it out. I was a little frustrated but, certain that there was something that I could do. The picture above is a little small but, the piece all the way to the right is a 4 point twill threading, the middle is a 5 point twill threading, and the one on the far left is a 6 point twill threading. To get a true satin/sateen I would have to use the one on the far

I liked your earlier comment about looking forward to your next project as you're weaving your current one. I do that, too! Design in my head while weaving - my stash is set up across from my loom in my studio, so I can see all those colors while I'm weaving, and, inevitably, I start thinking about new color combos, etc... Probably also why my max warp length is about 8-9 yards. I have a short attention span. LOL!
I'm so glad your loom is working for you again and am looking forward to seeing those wonderful scarves in their finished state.
