You all probably think I've been slacking - being as I haven't been showing any finished projects lately...
Not so! Just haven't had anything finished ~ I've been working on stuff, just nothing to show until today.
Finished up a tote bag tonite. Green body and a tan and green woven belt for handles. I added some other metal belt parts to fancy it up a bit and cover the sew points.
I've been weaving a bit here and there between sewing denim strips.
When I don't feel like weaving, I make myself sew - lol.
The other day I noticed my loom has an ouchie...
One of the outside pegs on this warp has broken off. Must have been cracked or something, I guess. It gave way while I wasn't there. At this point the tension is ok, but it could become a problem. I tried to think of a way to prop up the warp so the edges don't keep slipping off, but nothing is coming to mind.
Any of you weavers out there have an idea as a temp fix until this warp is woven off?
There are a couple other pegs on the outside edges that haven't impacted my weaving yet, but I've got in the plans to do a max width series of rugs, so I'll need to fix these pegs before then anyway. So a little downtime is in order I suppose so I can get this remedied.
All for now -

I LOVE the bag. Can't help on the sectional warp as I've never seen a loom with one~
You weave on a Union I think, maybe check in with Chris Gustin at Homestead Weaver for a tip on getting things back on track temporarily.
