Apparently, being on pins and needles waiting for information about the heart surgery has shredded my ability to pay attention to silly, trivial details like accurate threading.
After tying the warp onto the apron beam, and weaving a test 1/2 inch, I found several areas where the threading is obviously f^%$@%&ed. I'm fairly sure that I'm not in the right frame of mind to go through the entire "treadle your threading" process again to find out which/where the errors are, so it might have to wait. OTOH, another life experience which requires waiting is not on my like list.
I see the surgeon on Monday for a discussion about the state of things, and then I should know where/when/etc. so maybe I'll be in the right frame of mind after that. However, the surgeon is known for scheduling surgery ASAP after a consultation, so maybe the right frame of mind will have to wait a while longer. Like my mother used to say in response to almost any request, "We'll see."
About Me
- Sandra Rude
- I am a professional weaver, specializing in complex weaves using fine threads. Most of my studio work consists of scarves, shawls, and wraps woven on a 48-inch, 24-shaft computer-assisted AVL dobby loom or wall art woven on a 48-inch, 1,440-heddle AVL jacquard loom. I exhibit and sell my work through high-end retail craft shows such as the Smithsonian Craft Show, the American Craft Council San Francisco show, and several smaller regional and local fine craft shows.

Fingers crossed for the least invasive option and a good recovery.
Sometimes even the weaving gods take second place... I hope its a useful and constructive consultation on Monday.
Keeping you in my thoughts for good news.
Take it one day at a time is easy to say and hard to accomplish - I wish you calmness and peace during your wait. Best wishes.
Thinking of you...wishing you the very best.
