Rule one of tablet weaving: remove the cat

…so I read on the internet, and it is true, but yesterday I was roleplaying with friends and it was the perfect opportunity to warp up and start weaving my mantle trim. And my host has kittens. “Photos or it didn’t happen”, I hear you cry. Fair enough.

This is Gordon. He is a little bundle of fluff and mischief.
Gordone sat on my loom, on my lap…
Chewed the spools of yarn…
…attacked the loom…
…and finally went to play with his more sedate brother, Hennesey
…then Remy tested my new mantle for comfiness. Seems to have been acceptable.
But yay! I did get set up at last, and I wove a couple of inches of Laceby-style pickup.
