I was delighted by the blue and white combination. It was the look I was after when I chose the natural coloured warp yarn, but it turned out even better than I'd hoped. I can now see the benefit of all that extra effort in threading because that's where the detail comes from, especially in the example at the top of the pic--I'll try to get a macro shot of that so you can really see the pattern.

My Morning's Work
I spent the day at the Guild yesterday. It was the second day of the 8-shaft Weaving certificate course. Having prepared our warps, it was time to weave. Here's my morning's work:

8-shaft Twill Sampler
Here's my first project for this year's Weaving Certificate threaded and ready to go:
This is pretty much my view of it from where I stand to weave, except that I've put the tape measure in to give the scale. That's 8-inches by the way. Weavers, like quilters, seem to mostly stick to the imperial measurements. This is set at 24 ends per inch. That's 8 x 24 + 2 selvedge threads = 194 warp threads.
