I haven't had much time at the loom this week and it has turned out to be a good thing. I had finished the first time thru the color progression, and I was getting ready to start the second progression, but I thought that something was missing, so I went back to the computer to play with the colors a little bit more.
What I realized was that I wanted to add another color to the rainbow.
I had gotten this eggplant color when I had purchased the rest of the fleece, and then I realized that the pattern I was following only had six colors instead of seven, and I thought it best to follow suit.
What I found however was that as I looked at the rug as a whole, there was an empty place in my minds eye. and there are a couple of places that the color combinations between the accent color and the background color are not what I had imagined.
By adding this 7th color, between the red and the navy, I am going to shift the accent colors over one and I think I am really going to like it better. Of course, what that means is that I will have to undo almost all that I had woven.
The good news is that, because I made this decision a couple of days ago, I already undid it, and I am back at it. Next week, I hope to be back where I started and moving right along thru the 4 repeats of this pattern.
By the way the rug is really really squishy!
Until next time, Happy Weaving, Tina
