I picked the September picture to work on next. I'm using more colors, so it was a little more complicated. I did use the Random Stripe Generator, bu this time, I changed the colors so that they were used more in the same proportion as the picture, e.g. more yellow and gold than the red.I wound the same length of warp - enough for 10 towels. Everything seemed to be fine until I 
went to thread the heddles. I realized that I had flipped on of the sections. There was a glop of green together.As I was pulling the warp through the heddles, I added some warp threads off the back to separate the overabundance of green. I think it will be ok. After all, it's supposed to be random. It would be so bad if the green were a more perfect fit with the other colors. I'm sure it will work out when woven.

I am threading this set in a straight draw. I am planning to either weave a point or something like the dornick twill treadling I used for the December towels. This way each set will be a little different - in more than just color.

Oh man, that does my heart good - sorry. You are such a seasoned weaver and to see you make a mistake that I plagues me, well - it made me smile actually. I'm glad you got it repaired.
It looks like you're well on your way to having some wonderful towels. That was a great idea to pull in some of the color off of the back.
Sharon, Are you kidding? I make mistakes all the time. That's because I am always in a hurry. But I have found that almost any mistake can be fixed, so maybe that's why I don't get more disciplined.
