altivoThis project must be finished by Sept. 7. Past the halfway point, but more to go. I recaptured the cross and cut the first set of squares loose from the loom tonight. "Squares" is a stretch, alas. They are supposed to be nearly square, but for all my measurement and effort, they are still distorted more than I like. Too late to do anything about it. May be able to correct more in the second set.
Now I have to rethread the warp for a new pattern. The old one was "Catalpa Flower," the new one is to be "Single Chariot Wheel" — cursed circles, or at least, optical illusion of circles. Got to make them look round, not ovoid. Here we go...
Nice weather today, but too humid tonight and more thunderstorms tomorrow and Wednesday I guess.
Off to work out treadling. The exact "tromp as writ" just isn't going to make this look right.
