Weaving Has Commenced

First full repeat of weft color sequence.

Even when I take care to make samples, I always experience a strong sense of anticipation when I begin to weave the full-size project. Sampling is good, but it doesn't give the over-all impression that the larger piece gives. For example, the mug rug sample I chose was just a snippet of the larger pattern and gave the impression of a dark fabric. But with all the colors and stripes in place, it seems okay and the balance of the various colors is in keeping of what I was wanting. 

It's weaving up pretty quickly, although I have to carve out the time to do it! At least I've made a good start.

Michelle, thanks! After all those samples, I'm happy with it. Plus, i got some ideas for future projects. I just hope the recipient likes it!

TB, I never would have thought to put these colors together myself. Creating for others helps keep things interesting!
