I\u2019m not sure if the middle rose is just a particularly unlucky motif, or if my mind was simply elsewhere all day yesterday \u2013 but I ended up unpicking the same section three times. First, on the last row of petals, the outlines went off in opposite directions instead of closing neatly. Unpicking a couple of rows didn\u2019t fix it, so I had to go back even further and resort to the barbaric method \u2013 rotating the tablets one by one to find the correct shed, then dropping them down in pairs until I reached the spot I needed. Turned out I\u2019d skipped a weft pass somewhere around the middle of the petal, which threw everything one pick off. Once the petals were back in place, I noticed one of the threads went wandering on the reverse side. That meant undoing a few rows again to weave it back in. And to top it off, I skipped a row in the leaf motif. \ud83d\udc7f Fingers crossed this little saga doesn\u2019t continue today\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

Half of the pattern motifs are now woven \u2013 48 cm so far \u2013 but it\u2019s still nowhere near the halfway point in terms of length, as the second name is much longer than the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
