First panel

By working diligently (okay, obsessively 🙂 ), I have managed to get the first blank knitted, dyed, unraveled, and on the loom.  Here is a shot of the pirns – aren’t they pretty?

And here is the beginning of the weaving:

The weaving begins!

My only critique (so far) is that some of the color changes lo0k more abrupt than I’d like.  I will keep an eye on this as I weave it off, to see if I need to modify my painting technique for the next blank.
