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.

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
