Freckly and quick!https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/0310181331b.jpg0310181331bHere are the pattern threads being lifted after clearing the plain shed. https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/0310181331.jpg0310181331This is the plain shed, no pattern threads lifted. Hopefully you can see the top and bottom layer here. There is a gray thread on the left edge in both layers if that helps you see the layers distinctly. Because I clear this shed all the way before manipulating the pattern threads, you can see that half of the pattern threads are already in the upper shed. They are going to stay there no matter when I do at the string heddle, so that leaves the whole band looking freckled.https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/0310181330.jpg0310181330https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/0310181331a-e1520795299442.jpg0310181331aMy extra heddles are those blue-gray strings up top of this picture. I know this doesn't look very interesting, but trust me, they are. I haven't pulled them up yet in this picture, but you can see I've opened one of the plain sheds and drawn the shuttle down to the weaving line.2018-03-11T19:27:01+00:00weekly0.6https://crossandloop.com/temporary-picking-cross-forever/https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/picking-cross-e1520792487120.jpgPicking crossI've already picked the pattern threads and they are being held on the purple thing, so you can't see the complete cross held on my fingers. You can still see it, mostly, though, just above the shuttle 2018-03-11T18:32:37+00:00weekly0.6https://crossandloop.com/inkle/picking/2018-03-11T18:10:25+00:00weekly0.6https://crossandloop.com/inkle/warping-paths/https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ashford-workaround-with-notes.jpgAshford Workaround with noteshttps://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wienerdogranch-warping-path.jpgWIENERDOGRANCH WARPING PATHhttps://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/my-schacht-warping-path.jpgMY SCHACHT WARPING PATH2017-08-10T13:57:02+00:00weekly0.6https://crossandloop.com/inkle/influence-of-weft/https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/0322170911.jpg0322170911https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/0322170912b.jpg0322170912bhttps://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1120161502a.jpg1120161502aSo even though the weft edge is visible, it blends in and isn't noticeable.https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1010161704c.jpg1010161704chttps://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1010161614f.jpg1010161614fThese two bands have weft that matches the edge warps.https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1031161316.jpg10311613162017-03-22T15:33:53+00:00weekly0.6https://crossandloop.com/in-the-beginning/https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/img_20160428_084519081.jpgIMG_20160428_084519081https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/img_20160428_084411314.jpgIMG_20160428_084411314At the back peg -- nice and straight.https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/img_20160428_084434647.jpgIMG_20160428_084434647At the front peg.

No need to pull the warp throughhttps://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_20160328_193034091.jpgIMG_20160328_193034091Here are four pegs lifted out and just sort of flopping there.https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_20160328_193046827.jpgIMG_20160328_193046827I can now use my other hand to hold the weaving in place and give me more leverage as I pull each peg horizontally. Much easier.https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_20160328_194012501.jpgIMG_20160328_194012501https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_20160328_194209155.jpgIMG_20160328_194209155https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_20160328_192819068.jpgIMG_20160328_1928190681, The warp is ready to be advanced.https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_20160328_192934162.jpgIMG_20160328_1929341622.

The warp has been pulled through the whole weaving by a three inches or so and you can see the bottom of the peg at the top of the picture (my hand is holding it, just out of the picture).2016-03-29T01:50:36+00:00weekly0.6https://crossandloop.com/peg-loom-weaving/peg-loom-weaving-warping-for-a-rug/https://crossandloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_20160326_213440382.jpgIMG_20160326_213440382It took me maybe two hours to measure, attach, and chain the warp.
