More Sunshine...

Winding the warp onto the back beam after separating

it into inch sections and dropping those

sections into the raddle which is taped

onto my loom.  

 16 ends (threads) per inch...

8 1/2 yards of warp...enough for 3 shawls woven...

All wound on the back and ready to take the

threads out of the raddle...

and let them hang down from the lease sticks...

Threaded through the heddles in the order I need,

 sleyed through the reed for the

density and width that I want, and

tied on ready to go...

Weaving the first shawl!

This is unrelated to weaving but just had to say

Ellie is doing so well with our trainer.

He comes and the only hard time she gives him right now

is when I have her loose in the arena and he

wants her to stop eating and turn to face him.

She gets a little pissed off that she can't eat

so she runs and hollers.  Then you can see

her think and she will turn and trot over to him.

Sometimes she will slow down and then

start running again like she wasn't sure but soon

enough she gives in and he puts her halter on

and scratches her forehead and lets her rest

near him.  She has gained some weight and

is much more affectionate and relaxed. 

I think she is happy that she is not doing things

that she isn't yet ready for like jumping.

Soon we will be riding.  Soon...
