Worked Brooks Bouquet w/offset with single pick inbetween (inspired image by Tina on Loomy Tunes). Then repeated 9 even between.

It’s definitely open and lacy.

There’s some slight unevenness in my beating tension. It seemed better yesterday, a few warp threads feel as if they’ve loosened but I’m hesitant to add weight to them, the cotton is slightly fragile. Doubtful I’ll make both panels match from these super sketchy notes. Oh well.

Return to project.

Warped. about 130″ length. Full across 12 dent heddle on cricket.

Two errors: one doubled warping thread, and one missed eye on threading. Leaving. I didn’t check my work so I need to learn to live with it.

Header: 18 picks beat as even as possible in 3/2 Valley Cotton #2746 doubled.

Hem: 18, doubled, 18.

Curtain: 9 even, 4-thread Brook’s Bouquet. repeat with 2 thread offset for 3 bands of even (mostly) weaving between the bouquets. It’s about 5.5 in / 14cm past the header.
