I've begun weaving the wedding present scarf after tying it on to the previous warp (cut off on the beater side of the heddles. I only had to re-thread the 24 'edge' threads which form a simple diagonal twill line and on the shawl were several inches further out. Otherwise the pattern is the same, just not the stripes.

The weaving is a lot faster for two reasons. The scarf is only 13 inches wide (vice 23), and the yarn is a lot thicker. It shouldn't take too many sessions to finish the weaving. I was able to do quite a bit yesterday in between other things in and out of the house. I baked French bread sticks and a loaf of beer bread and some banana muffins which we had with coffee for breakfast. Then later in the day I made up a half jar of harissa from the many chillies that we now have coming from the garden. Finally I made some pizzas for the freezer, and one for a snack for when Anne came home from work at 9:00 pm.

Should find more weaving time today as we don't have to water the top garden. A convenient thunderstorm passed through yesterday afternoon and dropped a nice amount of rain on us.
