Star Warps

Since the last project I wove on Rey I warped the loom from front to back, and because I really liked using the raddle to spread out the warp on the table loom I warped in February, I thought I'd try warping Rey from back to front. I finally got all the yarn and measured the warps on April 8th and started to spread out the warp. I think the next time I do it this way I need to keep a cross in the back as well as the front. I'm not sure how, but it feels like things are tangled despite the fact that I was really careful when putting the yarn on the back apron rod. The fear of crossing threads made warping the loom take much longer than I think it should have. The entire time I was worried about warps crossing.

The adorable box is holding the rest of the yarn for the warp for the placemats. I've been incredibly busy at work, but things are about to settle down a bit and I think the warp might be on the loom by the end of the weekend. I started looking closer at the raddle and it seems some pegs are missing so ...
