It has actually been quite a slow start to weaving, as I have been getting my head around the ARM. At first it seemed really complicated & I had to come up with a new system of how I work out programs in my head. Usually I would write out the numbers of the shafts that needed to be lifted for each pick, but with this machine the options are only up or down (0 or 1). So I worked out a way of drawing structures out larger & using a little hand made 'viewfinder' to read each row/pick more clearly.
Now that I have started to get the hang of the loom, hopefully I will able to start moving a lot faster.
