Weaving was progressing smoothly and rather rapidly. I finished 1/3 of the warp on the first day, and on the next I was past 115′′ All of a sudden, the light bulb went off in my head. I couldn’t make pants out of the fabric I was weaving! It was far too loose for this pants!
So I started weaving anew, now packing it much more densely. You can see from the photo that after that decision I struggled to make the weave consistent...some areas are more closely woven than others. This got better as I went along, but was a challenge throughout.
The good news is that I can most likely use the more loosely-woven fabric to make a top. The pattern I bought for the pants als has a simple top pattern.
The bad news is that I’ll have to wind another warp to make up the length I need. Sigh. The good news is that I have enough yarn to do so.
