While I was waiting for the camera's arrival, I finished dressing the loom for the blessing baby blanket.
And finished winding the warp for another series of lavender sachets I will be selling at the upcoming Seattle Weavers Guild Sale in October.
I finally figured out why I like setting up the loom so much. It is always a complete surprise to see what the warp is going to look like. I don't have to wait until I begin weaving. I don't even have to wait until I thread it through the reed. Just a few minutes into the raddle, a quick lashing onto the bar and voila!
If I weren't planning to cut this warp into lots of 5" squares, I might have paid more attention to the overall look of the piece, but I am rather charmed by the carefree look of it.

Ooooh! Love those baby blanket colors!
Both those warps are a treat for the eyes! I love your colours.
Fantastic colours! I like everything before weaving. It is like you need to know if the code was right and then I see it in the loom ready to weave it,it is not that interesting any longer some one else can weave it down. So I do not put so long warps in to my loom. I hope you understand my bad english, sorry for that.
