Warped up and ready for next stage

After a pretty strenuous morning, discovering that the jig went lopsided because I applied too much tension, and I had to straighten it up and retighten everything, and that the warping thread tended to jump into knots, which I had to unravel one handed, while holding onto the warp to keep the tension, and various other ills, I did get the warping completed.



The jig has to be removed next, once I recover from warping.

But now you see how it works. More or less.

Those blue warp threads are slotted through the yellow warps, so that once the jig is removed, they will stay put, looped together.

This may or may not work, depending on how well the tensioning works. We'll see. The warps will all go slack when the jig's out, and I hope i can tighten them enough to work on.

But this is not bad for starters.
