Mar 6, 2018 This project was hard, and required a series of difficult choices and decisions. Once it was finished, I felt deep statisfaction and a growth of confidence in my weaverly skills.

Project history, and draft choice: I wanted to weave elegant wedding towels for two young couples marrying in June, 2018. I bought the Cinnamon Toast draft last fall, inspired by several excellent projects here on Ravelry. I continued searching Ravelry and the internet for Crackle projects. I got very interested in Strickler #593--501 and nearly chose that threading. I was paralyzed with indecision for a while. Finally, I decided to stick with my original plan.

10.5 yard warp -- my personal record -- 3.5 miles!
