Disaster

Right now I'm dogsitting Ella. I love her little white sock! I pulled a disaster project off the loom on the weekend. I wanted to make a towel for my dear friend CY to celebrate her starting her MFA!

But I made some mistakes and my tension kept slipping (resulting in an annoying blister). When I took it off I figured it was a little too loose but I washed it anyway.... And this was what I got. M keeps trying to tell me that it "looks like one of Sheila Hick's weavings!" which is nice of him to say, but she was trying to make atypical pieces. I just wanted a towel!

If you look closely you can still see the pattern in some spots, which is (was?) an undulating twill.
