Summer and elastic thread

Got happy with elastic thread in the weft...thought I was making myself a summer dress but it seems  the top is perfect for v...  

About eight inches with elastic weft every thirdish row pulled fabric in to about half it's original width when taken off the loom.

Wove the front ending with the elastic part (elastic threAd about every third weft shot, pulled tight) and then an inch or so of plain. Then I wove the back starting with the elastic part,then plain weaving no elastic for the bottom half.  

And I still have two yards for a skirt...

And then some more to weave, but v decided she should weave herself a dess, such beautiful color choices...I hope she stays inspired.

A little retrograde cleaning unearthed this...and it all came together just needs a lining.

Reinventing the loom...again...

Redoing, remaking,realizing, refine....retrograde adjustments.   The old beam reattached and now for the lams that I never understood till now (but don't have). But I am weaving anyhow....nothing like learning by doing....even if it means reworking....the table loom is now truly a counterbalance loom and it now has 6 pedals and they all work in a fashion but will work better with lams...but a balanced plain weave shed can be had and if I tweek the harnesses with my hands I can get a bit of a twill.
