I took Peru #1 off the loom yesterday: I have named this scarf Lucia after the Peruvian woman who led the rescue horse on our trek. Her colourful clothes and hat standing out in contrast to the tree-less rocky environment. She walked and skipped easily up the 5,000m passes as I climbed steadily and slowly.
Thankfully her services were not needed!
Technically I have sorted out many things through this weave, not least the complexity of tie-ing up 10 shafts to 10 pedals. My biggest learning has been around the actual weaving, throwing the shuttle; the last bit really. Ideally I need quiet steady hours at the loom interspersed with exercise and calm! If I miss a day or two or get tangled in other ‘stuff’ then my weaving is not so even.

Wow! Wonderful colours and beautiful weaving. I’m so impressed too, by the concentration needed for the warping up alone. I’ve only recently discovered your blog Sue, I need to go and visit some older posts 🙂 This post is inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
