… was annoying to weave! I carefully calculated the length of the warp allowing plenty of room to make three mats. I decided to knot the fringe after weaving, which was where things went wrong. I feel as though I allowed too much space for the fringe and ate up too much of the warp. By the time I got to the third runner, I knew it was not going to be long enough for the kitchen table. It is not fun to keep weaving, and advancing the warp, and weaving and wondering how long the &%^%^# thing is going to be!
Here you can see the cardboard I put between the mats and how much space is left for knotting. {It was too much!} I should have done hemstitching on the loom, which I much prefer to do, or perhaps I should have hemmed them, as Karen at Warped for Good did.
It is barely long enough to be usable on the diningroom table, but it does work.
Ah well. On to the next project!
The hard work looks great!
Thanks! I am ready to do soemthing more challenging now, though I do love rag runners!
I like it! Very nice runner!
Thank you Karen. I just wish it had turned out to be the size I wanted….
I’ve really enjoyed the way you are photographing these, with the coordinating dishes–very stylish!
Ha! Well a lifestyle photographer I’m not, but setting the table is a facorite thing of mine…. ;-D
