坎坷的最後一片 Difficult ending of the project

 Finally the first panel of "Wall of Tree" was re-woven. When I started to weave this piece, I knew the length of the rest of the warp was not so sure; but still wove it. It was very difficult to weave the final part. The short warp made the warp thread lifting very hard and had uneven tension. A new idea came to my mind. In stead of cutting the old warp before tying a new warp; do the tying first, then keep weaving the old warp to its very end. From the photo below you can find this situation. I don't recommend this way of weaving. Because I don't have time to re-do this piece again, therefore this is an alternative way. I did get the length I need.

終於重新織完第一片，過程有點坎坷。在織這片時已經知道所剩經線長度有點危險，還是織看看。果然到最後的30公分時，經線張力不均，實在很難織。突然想到改變以往的做法，先把所剩白經線和黑經線一支支先接好，然後繼續把白經線織到最後，才結束白經線的部份。剛接好線開始織的時候，經線張力亂七八糟，只好儘量調整。最後終於織出約300公分長的布塊。

After tying two sets of warp, the weaving kept going. 把新、舊經線接好後，繼續織。

The piece was finished. The black new warp was drawn through reed.

終於織完，新的經線拉過鋼筘，然後下機。
