Realised, I had sterted one of the weaves with a LEFT over RIGHT instead of RIGHT over LEFT!!!
I left it at 11pm last night having unravelled the whole lot, rewove the three squares RIGHT over LEFT !!! They are waiting for me to join them this morning. 😅 #rightoverleft #Raranga 3/

More #raranga photos. I was in hysterics yesterday when I was working on the kete (basket) I the upper left. I focused and took care laying the whakapapa (foundation), but then it all went terribly wonky when I started making the holes. It looked BAD, but I finished out of spite.
I’ve signed up for another term of #raranga in #Ōtepoti (weaving in Dunedin).
I have to pace myself, but I’ve noticed some of the cognitive symptoms from chronic fatigue syndrome improving.
