So instead, since it was a wide warp, I decided to make the bath towel that I have been planning. I hemmed and hawed for quite a long time trying to decide what pattern to use, but in the end, I just decided to do a simple basket weave because I had spent too much time thinking about it andnot enough time weaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2104\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image.jpg?resize=480%2C640&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image.jpg?resize=720%2C960&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Warp: 10\/2 white cotton sett at 20epi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weft: 3\/2 boucle cotton<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Width on loom: 31 inches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 inch hem<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 inch border<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1165.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1165.jpg?resize=1000%2C1000&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1165.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1165.jpg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1165.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1165.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1165.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1165.jpg?resize=960%2C960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/exhaliastudios.com\/squirrel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/img_1165.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes things don\u2019t go as planned.
