Watch out on Project One

Some of us have been working ahead. The problems I've heard so far...

1. It's not clear that "plain weave" and "tabby" are the same weave structure = a simple interlacement of over 1-under 1. You get that by alternating the activation of shafts 1 & 3, and 2 & 4. On some of the bookmarks, we need to do a plain weave (tabby) shot between each shot of the thicker yarns. Be sure to ask someone to demo that on Saturday.

2. The diagram on p. 55 makes you assume that you pass 2 yarns through the edge slots of your reed when you first put the yarn through the reed. But Mr. A has you put each yarn in a separate slot until the very end, tying onto the cloth beam. At that point you move the edge yarns inward 1 slot, so there are 2 yarns in the edge slots. Be sure to ask about this Saturday too.

Any more problems you can warn us about?
