A good start on the latest batch of quilting. I decided to do fans on this one. I haven't done fans in a while and they are fast, easy and fun. I got all the way around the outside edge this morning before I came down to these:

These are harnesses, or more commonly shafts that hold the individual heddles, of my loom. Mine are removable so it makes counting the heddles easier.

This is an individual heddle, one heddle per thread. I am using four shafts, so it will be 968 heddles in all, I might have to make some more out of cotton yarn to have enough. A lot of looms are made with a polyester cord now. Mine is an old loom and I am perfectly happy with it, but the cord heddles are quieter, not that I need worry down here. The hole in the center of the heddle is the eye and that is where the thread goes through. It's a bit tedious counting the heddles, but no more than counting the threads were. After I get the heddles placed on the shafts then it will be time to thread them. It's getting closer to weaving time, although all of this is part of the weaving process and I love it.

Ambrosina is baking cookies upstairs, the smell of them is making me hungry again!

So the week is off to a pretty good start, and it's only Tuesday!
