I can't say I get bored, but I do get tired. Bottom line is, I'm tired of doing these towels. The first couple warps were interesting as I pursued a new design, but I'm anxious to get cracking on the Big Project samples and these last few warps are becoming a bit of a roadblock as I hunker down to just get them done.
Add to that my lower back went into spasm yesterday and weaving isn't much fun at the minute. I had a massage appointment already booked for tomorrow but a quick phone call to the chiropractor revealed that they had no openings until Wed.
So I am very gingerly weaving. Instead of doing two towels a session, I decided this morning to just do one, then take a break. The slower I go means the longer it will take to clear the rose, blue, then the final (halleluljah!) red warp off my schedule so that I can carry on with the planning and executing of the BP samples.
I am not a patient person. Being at less than my best physically is annoying. Having that physical hurdle preventing me from charging through these last three warps? Beyond irritating. But the fact is I can't weave at my usual pace so I'm just going to have to deal with the fact that it will be next week before I can start the samples. Hopefully by then my back will be much happier!

Gosh, darn. But you were going at a very high pace. You are human after all. Take care of the body, as one tends to need such things as backs and arms to weave. Unless you want a factory instead.
Indeed. No weaver, no weaving happening. :-/
cheers,

I occasionally resort to a neoprene back brace, which serves to remind me to keep my posture correct and take breaks frequently. Take care of that back - you've only got one...
