I was going to weave the diamond twill pattern on Phoenix Rising, but the weft’s color change overwhelmed the pattern. I had this color combination in mind for a while as well for the diamond point twill pattern, so I’m going to use up some yarn and weave my first item on my new Baby Wolf.

2015-02-10: Wind warp on warping board & transfer to raddle. Beam the warp.

2015-02-12: Finish warping loom and weaving header. Begin weaving diamond point twill, completing one pattern repeat. I need to lighten up on my beat as the first diamond is a bit compressed.

2015-02-23: Complete 2x2 hemstitching on starting edge. Complete 52” weft.

2015-02-24: 72” weft complete. Wove for another 2 1/4”; I completed the repeat I was working on and then added 2 more complete repeats. Remove from loom and full.

2015-02-25: weave in ends and twist fringe.

Summary

• Warp is 4 yards long; 132 ends

• 12 dent reed.

• My selvage threads are included in the outside group this time.

• Had to add weights to the selvage threads.

• My beat is not very even. I’m going to repet this pattern on my next scarf/weaving.

First Time

• Do some minor disassembly of my loom. the heddles on 2 shafts were backwards. So i detached the heddle frames and flipped them.

• First time using my baby wolf.
