weaving! omfg i didn't mess it up!

shawl pattern

So hopefully the fact i've gotten about 12" in of weaving done so far on the shawl indicates that i didn't horribly tangle the warp while dressing the loom, and that all of my warp chains were wrapped correctly. I *did* lose the two outer threads, but that's ok.. i must've not tied them properly onto the back apron. However, since they were luckily the two most outer threads in the warp.. it didn't really matter that i dropped them, and now the shawl will be two threads thinner...i don't think anyone would ever notice. ;) I like the pattern, i decided to use a slub yarn for the weft. However, in hindsight, i should've prepared two floating selvedges to pick up on each pick. Next time,... next time.
