There is no doubt in my mind that weaving is a *skill that can take
a lifetime to learn.
Volunteering to weave for a demonstration is a good way to make
an *effort in learning.
All I can say is .. good thing I started the sample early!
This hand dyed warp:
Shrunk, plumped, was mis-measured,
beamed twice, and turned into Gumby stretchy on the loom.
While the yarn is soft, it has made me
.. "GRITTY"..
I just started reading a book called:
'Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance'
by Angela Duckworth
She defines 'grit' as the combination of perseverance and passion.
For now I'll just keep on weaving.
With all the extra yardage from a measuring error, I'm going
to be here for a while...but I won't be gritting my teeth..
*skill x *effort = achievement

The combination of stripes in the warp and the threading make interesting blocks. Don't give up.
