I was careful; very careful.  I counted and separated the yarn into groups of block repeats (6 threads each).  Then I counted out all the heddles I needed for that particular repeat of blocks (in this case there were 17 repeats of block B). This is a Bronson lace – 2,1,3,1,3,1.  I had already done a bit and I was picking up where I left off.

Right off the bat I ended up with an extra end.  I must have miscounted one of my bundles.  I easily rectified that as I went along.  However, I noticed, as I continued, that I had double sleyed some of the dents.  I had sleyed the warp 1 end per dent in a 15 dent reed – or so I thought. So I pulled the ‘second’ ends out and put them to the right.

I finished sleying – yeah! But why do I have an end left over?  I might have miscounted as I wound the warp.  As I went through the warp lining it up with the reed I noticed this:

Can you see the problem?

Right in the middle!  Nothing to do but to re-thread each and every heddle!  Arg.  Tea break first.

Well, I sucked it in and finished threading.  Now to tie on and wind on to the back beam.  Let’s see what further adventures I have going forward….
