I am getting close to the middle section of this sample/scarf that is on my loom. But I have not yet designed it. All I know is that I want to use treadlings from both of the previous two design groups, combining them in some way.
To help me design this section, I needed to see together those two motif sections I had woven. With the scarf still on the loom, that was pretty much impossible.
So I went into Paint Shop Pro and created the following image:
I even managed to label the treadles to make it easier to work with. I have printed this out. In black and white since all I have is a laser black-and-white printer. But the contrasts are clear and that is what matters.
I am so pleased with the results of my efforts that I find myself staring at the photo with cat-like pleasure. I cannot even bring myself to work on the designing---the very reason for going through this work!
I am definitely no longer “distracted and out of sorts.”
