Yesterday evening I finished sleying the reed, then tied on, and finally redid the dobby chain, adding twelve more dobby bars and the pins.

I finished that all faster than I thought I would, so I started weaving.  I wove a brief header using the slightly darker green silk as weft, advanced the warp a bit, and started the weaving of the dresser scarf proper. 

It has a nice three-dimensional relief look to it, which will tone down significantly after the textile is removed from the loom and it is wet-finished and pressed; the threads will bed smoothly.  

 Above you can see the beginning of the weaving, and the draft and tie-up (which here is used as the peg plan).
The colors are wonderful together.
