I mentioned last week my trouble with keeping straight which direction I was heading on the foot treadles.\u00a0 Sure, it’s easy when you’re on treadle 1 or treadle 5, because there’s only one direction to go from each of those, but if you’re on treadle 3, it’s anyone’s guess.<\/p>\n

Enter the beads.<\/p>\n

The teacher attached a couple beads to a string and taped it to the top of my loom so that when I get to either treadle 1 or 5, I can push the beads left or right to designate the change in direction.\u00a0 So, therefore, if I get to treadle 3 (or 2 or 4) and lose my concentration, all I have to do is look at the beads.\u00a0 Problem solved!<\/p>\n

In other weaving news, according to the teacher, I am about a yard shy of completing my scarf.\u00a0 And here I thought it would take me in excess of the eight weeks of class time.\u00a0 Once at the weaving part, it goes pretty quickly.\u00a0 Plus, it’s become very enjoyable and I think I’m going to miss it, whereas, when I first started, I was doubtful I’d even make it to the third class.\u00a0 I guess I’ll just have to weave a rug or something!<\/p>\n
