First weave on Frances

I have spent several days now threading and learning about lams and treadling of my wonderful counter-march loom and today, at last I began to weave.  There were many interruptions as I adjusted sheds up and down and all is not balanced but I have begun what I hope to be a long-lasting and fruitful relationship with Frances.
