The warp is now fully threaded and tied on to the loom. I had hoped to start weaving today, but that is not to be the case. I opened the shed to throw my first shuttle across and the shed would not open. I teased the shed open and gently eased the shuttle across. I brought the reed forward and attempted to open the shed again. Nope. would not move. So I teased it open again and gently pushed the shuttle through the second time. Oh, this is going to be tedious, isn't it.
Then I attempted to bring the reed forward again, nope, not moving.
Bunches of threads loosened up and I retied a bunch, then attempted again. Nope.
Argh. F@#K!
I emptied a half a can of spray starch on the bitch and informed my family that I was on my way home.
I am home now and will spend the afternoon knitting. Because I can handle one thread at a time right now. Three hundred threads, nope.
Maybe tomorrow I will be able to start weaving.
