I am finally moving along on lesson one in Lavernes book. Whew!! I have had so much that I have been trying to juggle, and today I just threw everything aside and gave me some down time. So, today I spent trying to figure out lesson 1 in Andean Pebble weave. I am determined to get through each and ever lesson and master this art - even if it takes me a year (which I REALLY hope not).
I started lesson 1 a couple of weeks ago, but I kept messing up and my pattern wasn't turning out, so today, I started over (recycling my threads). I finally figured out what I had done wrong now that I had a clearer head. My cross sticks were placed in wrong - I don't think I could even begin to explain why - so don't ask. ;)
So... I am moving a long. I will take some pictures later - I promise to show to let you know my word is true.
But, at present, I have a question. I get the hang of picking up threads for each shed. I was wondering if it would hurt anything IF I created two string heddles for each shed? My guess is that it wouldn't, but because I am so new and green around the gills regarding weaving, I thought I would at least ask. I feel like I am asking a dumb question, but so be it. I really want to move faster then "picking" out each shed each time
I would appreciate anyones input.
