So. Close. To. Done.... with the weaving portion at least. There's still hours of finish work to do once I have this off-loom. I'm weaving the reaminder of the header today. I always make my warp about a yard longer than my pattern plans for. I do this for 2 reasons, 1) in case I change my mind after I get a few inches in to the design of the weaving and I have plenty of room to re-start and 2) once the header is finished, I'll weave a mix of plain weave and the two fabrics in green or blue for the remainder of the warp. The extra fabric I use to stitch leaves for the leaf panel on this piece.
I'm trying a new way of video recording for my YouTube channel, so here's this morning's video of me talking about finishing work, specifically the plans for this double weave pick up. I hate the way I sound when I'm being recorded, but oh well, I just rattle on a bit here:
