I finally got around to inventory, of sorts, on my remaining stock and it looks pretty good. I don't feel I need to immediately rush to the loom and make more rugs before the Unique Boutique show the weekend before Thanksgiving. I do have my new Peaceful Oceans warp on and am looking forward to seeing how that turns out in all its different planes of weft.
We have wonderful fall weather - cool, crisp, breezy days and cooler nights. I love it. Autumn always makes me thoughtful and is a good reassessment time for me. Since my personal life duties are gaining ground all the time, the time I have for weaving gets shortened. So, I'm going to section warp the Hammett with 50 or 60 yards of rug warp and work it off as I can this winter. I like having long warps on that loom. I'll be weaving Pendleton rugs (5 doubled ends per inch) and blue jean rugs (10 single ends per inch). I will just re-sley the reed when I want to change rug type. Of course, I will wait until I have a cloth beam full of rugs to cut off. I will lose maybe a foot of warp doing that, but much time-lier than rewarping completely.
I have also updated my rug gallery. These are not all the rugs I have. I will be taking more photos and putting them up as I can.
