Playing with stripes, warp tension, and beating. I'll use what I learn to plan the trio of tallitot I'll make for our kid, my husband and me, with the kid's bar mitzvah coming up at the end of the year. ("Tallitot" is the plural of "tallit," the Jewish prayer shawl that is not related what is more generally called a "prayer shawl" among crafters). #YearOfMaking2023 #weaving #weavings #stripes #amweaving #weaversofinstagram #4shaftweaving https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZw2SUprST/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

8/365 Y'all I DID IT. So many episodes of "The Walking Dead." I finished re-threading the heddles yesterday, sleyed the reed and tied on. And today I made a plan for stripes and finally -- FINALLY -- started weaving. And exactly 4" in, a warp thread broke 🤣😭😭😭. As if I needed to learn any more lessons from this project OMG. Off to read up on what to do next. But still -- this progress feels great!

4/365 Beginning to correct the warp. It's such a pain, and I definitely used #YearOfMaking2023 to nudge me to finally get started. Just a little bit every day... #weaving #weaversofinstagram #amweaving https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm-0fE8LvM-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A very lazy New Year's Day after a tween sleepover, I finished a mediocre novel and knitted. But I was thinking about this warp I need to re-thread because I twisted the strands 🙄. I intend to get started tomorrow, with the last bit of winter break as my fuel. 1/365 #yearofmaking2023 #yearofmaking #weaversofinstagram #weaving #leclercartisat #warpingtheloom https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm5pBDELzYz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy eighth night 🕎 and my kid's 12th birthday 🎈! Birthday breakfast, cake before lunch, and a final round of (over-)fried food 🍩. Merry Christmas to folks celebrating! #chanukah #hanukkah #eightcrazynights #birthday https://www.instagram.com/p/CmnULe7rnc3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 7th night 🕎! It's amazing to finally have my parents here. Not pictured: We went to synagogue this morning, and did a pre-birthday (for the kid) escape room (we succeeded without bloodshed!), and I discovered that I managed to completely screw up warping my loom 😠. Sigh. Definitely a good day, though. Now we're home and burrowing in for birthday shenanigans tomorrow. #hanukkah #chanukah https://www.instagram.com/p/CmkpzStpo2Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On this sixth night, a Chanukah miracle! After more snow, after my husband helped a guy get his rear-wheel-drive van without snow tires 🙄 unstuck and drove it to the main road himself, after they left home three days ago and spent hours on the phone with airlines after getting stuck on their way here---my parents arrived! #chanukah #hanukkah #snowmageddon2022 #snowpocalypse2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CmiQLcGruvc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy fifth night! With my parents still in transit (since Tuesday OMG), we decided to see the lights without them instead of trying to change the tickets for next week (when it'll be raining, and also we're still not sure if they'll make it here tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞). Stay warm and safe, my friends! #chanukah #hanukkah #festivaloflights #snowmageddon2022 #snowpocalypse2022 (at Van Dusen Botanical Garden, Vancouver Bc) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmf83w0r5tu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
