Doublecloth is maybe my favorite thing to do because it offers so much variety. So here's my quick exploration in all the easiest double cloth techniques I might use in a tapestry.
Me again, just here to thank you again for sharing your craft, you made me try new things and made me confident about little mishaps, they are good. They teach me things. Also, from the bottom of my heart thank you for not playing music while you explain things. Being blessed with APD, I very much appreciate that. Have a wonderful day and a smooth move.

I'm so happy to hear this! Also I totally agree, I can't stand when music is played over something I'm trying to listen to well enough to understand. I'll do my best to keep that up!
Hello MaryKate, it is 8 am on Saturday as I am watching this (after a very short night) and this time the weaving process appears to be physically demanding, as well as mentally. At least for my brain after not sleeping enough. :) The cloth looks very interesting and pretty! Anything double-sided is cool, you flip it over andf it´s a different piece. I espevially like the pillow-idea. So clever! I am trying diamond twill on my rigid heddle loom and i think i used the wrong yarn for my warp, it gets stuck on itself in the slots so now i have to work with one permanent pickup stick (on 3, to get the slot threads up) and one that i insert every so often (on 2, to keep the slot theads down). But I like the pattern and weaving is not supposed to be a speed race. Well, not for me, anyhow. If I have a nice length for a table runner by the end of August, it´s fine. I am sorry to see that your loom still gets stuck. That is such a bother. Be happy, be safe, I will be watching this again now, Until next time, Su / Pinguinpullover P.S. Best wishes for the move, may it go smoothly!
I've definitely had yarn stick like that before! I find it's really common with wool, just because it's so naturally grippy. It's good that you don't mind being patient with the process, that's half of weaving for me. I'm sorry you had such a short night! Everything is always a little harder (and the brain seems to think a bit slower) when I'm sleep deprived. I hope you are able to find time for a nap or some extra rest.
Very cool!!
