Other miscellaneous things I learned

Other little projects - I did two other projects entirely with pins and no holding stitches: a little case using a piece of styrofoam packing material, and a zipped bag built around a custom built box filled with styrofoam. The piece of foam wore out with the friction of the needle while weaving; it crumbled a bit and the pins loosened. It barely held up to the end of the weaving. The custom built box filled with foam was sturdy enough to allow me to reuse it for three more projects the same size before the pin holes became too loose to hold well. These were good practice for charting a warp and weaving in the round.

Miscellaneous tests - Along the way I kept figuring out other details like how to chart the warp and weft effectively, the best way to chart the shaping wedges, what kinds of holding stitches were needed for various purposes and how to solve the problem of take up in the warp.
