At last, I
tied up the treadles for the new leaf motif draft
and was ready to weave my header. Lo and behold, I had another threading
error! I honestly think part of the problem is my bifocals. Even with
progressive lenses, it's difficult to get that sweet spot for several
activities, such as heddle threading and painting ceilings. I even have
trouble viewing my computer screen comfortably.
I had skipped a heddle, so I searched about for how to add another heddle in
the middle of the shaft. I ran across this video by
Underwood Textile Arts. I'm embedding it here, for future reference!
EDIT to add a link to Peggy Osterkamp's latest blog post, Repair Heddles: New (to me) Methods. It looks like another easy method for adding Texsolv heddles.

Another method is number 4 in a Handwoven post: https://handwovenmagazine.com/repair-heddles-stop-twisting-yourself-into-a-pretzel/. Having tried both methods, the one in the Handwoven post is much easier.
Janet, thank you!
