Weekend's Warping

On Friday I was making such great progress warping and said "maybe I will be weaving by the end of the weekend."  I was doing so well it seemed like that would be an easy goal to accomplish.  

But oh yea...today was Father's Day so I spent all day Saturday preparing food for my favorite husband.  I did find sometime for warping this afternoon and here is my beautiful progress.


The full width of this weaving is made from sixteen - two inch squares.  I have eleven areas re-tied.  As I was  at the warping board preparing the final five and thinking about colors, it hit me.  The last two blocks I had tied up were wrong!  Ugh!

Basically, if you look at the bottom two corners of this sample piece, they are both light blue.  Then the two in from there are purple, then blue, pink, green and so on.  This is not how the cloth looks in my head.  It should be a rainbow going from blue on the left to purple on the right (this is why I am re-warping).

Somehow I already forgot about this change that needed to happen (mom brain) and was tying up my new summer colors cloth with this same flaw.  Thankfully, I will only have to re-tie two squares and then the remaining five.  Tomorrow of course, I just didn't have the heart to do it today.  And then I should have sixteen different beautiful squares to weave with!
