As the header says, my
en plein air piece is sort of finished. I have hitched off and sewn down the ends. But it is 1cm wider in the middle than the two ends, so I am going to have to think about how to make it more regular. I had thought I might have been able to avoid the problem if I had used less wool on the single warp wraps but Cresside says I probably should just have done it more tightly. There are a lot of colour changes in that part of the weaving also, which will have contributed to the bulge.

Whatever the reason it happened, I now have to try to make it more rectangular. I might try the steam blocking that we learnt earlier in the year or I might just try to wiggle it in when I put a backing on. Not to worry, it is my first attempt and I learn from my mistakes - I hope. I could always try mounting it behind a window mount and hide the edges.

Are you going to post a picture of it when you fix the bulge?
parlance, I have had a go at blocking it and it is much better. I haven't quite got is perfectly rectangular but don't think I am going to worry about it. I may post about it soon, not sure yet.
