100 Day Project (2026)

This is my accountability page for the 2026 100-day project since I’m no longer really using Instagram. I haven’t done a 100-day project since 2023 which was focused on watercolour and ink. This year, I’m taking deep dive into weaving, since I’ve recently gotten back on the loom and it’s capturing my attention again. My parameters are to do something weaving-related every day – be that learning, gathering inspo, warping a loom, drawing patterns or colour palettes, or simply sitting down to a current weaving project.

100 days is a lot to fit on one page with images, so I’ve broken it into 10-day chunks

24 and 25 | 100, March 17 and 18 2026: I started threading, discovered a mistake in my heddle management, and had to unthread and start over. This is a fine linen warp which I am putting on in a sample quantity to see if I want to work with fine threads, and what kind of fabric this weight of thread (plus silk) will make.

23/100 | March 16, 2026: Doing a bit of design work. I’ve been itching to weave a 60-inch wide blanket in doubleweave and now I’ve mapped out my plan using an oceanside colour palette I collected 2 years ago.

22/100 | March 15, 2026: Weaving-related item of the day is the cutting, ironing, and hem-pinning on the collection of placemats I wove last week. I will hand hem these at a rate of about one per day.

21/100 | March 14, 2026: Thinking about what to put on the loom next, working only from my stash. I’ve got some linen and silk here and I’m going to create some samples threaded in setts of both 24 and 30 using a point twill pattern and various tie-ups.
