After I got home from work yesterday, Carlos was off at a band rehearsal, so I skipped my usual cooking hours and made a beeline straight downstairs to the loom to continue threading.
I got almost all the way through the threading, with just about 130 ends left to thread. Carlos came home and came downstairs to say hello; I was just going to plough through the last bunch and then go back upstairs, but I realized that I'd been sitting for about four hours threading, and really needed a break!! Time passes swiftly at the loom. Although I'd rather have finished, I got enough sleep (unusual for me) and woke up this morning in almost no pain!! So I'll continue this afternoon when I get home...I'm fairly certain that I can not only finish the threading but also sley the reed and tie on.
I have to add twelve dobby bars to the chain already on the dobby, close it, and then totally redo the 'tie-up' (dobby pins). This is a pretty fast process.
