the weave is dead, long live the weave!

a reincarnation of sorts is taking place. I haven't woven in a really long time, the reasons for which are dull and won't be gone into. i began a rather ambitious warp last summer, whilst I had the studio in east london. that has now been gingerly removed from the raddle on the top of my then newly acquired Louet Kombo 70 loom and is resting, waiting to be reformed into cloth at some future date. i'm going back to basics as quite frankly i can't remember a thing! this ancient stuff takes a good while to stick. i feel a little fraudulent having started to write about all this before i had learnt to walk, but that was after all the whole point of jotting down thoughts en route. so task one is to get this loom to work the way I imagine it should...really, back to basics we go, with some dark thread, some light thread and 1,2,3,4 in different orders.
