So I finished another weaving project and honestly, it turned into the longest salvage practice known to man. I picked out a beautiful pattern and began to weave and here are the things I learned.....
1. It was way to loose.
2. It really was way to loose.
3. I could felt it.
4. Choose a damn super wash wool to work with.
5. It would be a waste of materials to start over.
6. Superwash wool DOES NOT FELT - even if you think you may coax it into a felted state.
7. Putting it in the dryer does not help it felt.
8. I really do knit better than I weave
9. NO, you cannot weave in extra yarn to fill the gaps.
and Finally -
10. It's okay because all the weaving you did, made you practice edges, and beating and all the things you might have screwed up on a project that might really have had a chance to work out.
Now I am simply waiting for dish towel yarn for the next set of experiments. Wish me luck! Maybe will post a picture later! Right now, I am mourning the death of 2 skeins of beautiful merino/alpaca superwash sock yarn :)
