Weaving is Done

The day finally came when I could remove the 6 yards of warp. Some of it was just practice. I did manage to make a table runner and 3 mats. 

Stand up Weaving

The best idea I have had recently was to remove the stand from my rigid heddle loom so that I can weave standing up. Most crafts that I do keep me seated and I prefer to not spend so much time sitting down. The loom had to be raised with shims so that I can move the heddle into the down position. Notice the blue grip clamps in the corners. The piece I am working on is will be a table runner. I had lost interest in the warp, plain white cotton, until I decided to work with rags again. I have sliced up yards of fabric and I now I am ready for this piece. Rags work so well and look very good with the white warp. So I am pleased to say that I have rekindled my interest in weaving again and look forward to the day I can unwind the warp to discover so many little projects that I started/finished and rolled away.
