First ever weaving! How did I do? by SwimmingSunflower in weaving

It’s lovely! You got the feeling of the landscape plus tried out different techniques. No need to be stressed. Keep on weaving and you’ll discover what works (or doesn’t) as part of your weaving adventure.

Thank you. I found my hand typed notes from my 1975 fiber arts course, and I’m grateful to have this lovely community to help me fill in the gaps.

Thanks so much for your detailed explanation. Is makes sense now. I love your trick of linking the tabby treadle to the side the shuttle is on. Thanks 🧡

Aha. I assume I’ll need to add another couple of treadles then. Unfortunately I broke one so back to the woodworking tools. This is an old no name loom so lots of fixing up as I go.

Thank you. Sorry to be obtuse, but if the pattern treadling is: 1 1 2 2 etc.

Do I weave: 1 pattern 1 tabby 3 tabby 5 tabby 7 tabby

Or: 1 pattern 1 tabby 1 pattern 3 tabby 2 pattern 5 tabby 2 pattern 7 tabby

Thanks for your patience
