>> As long as we're on cleft, quick! think of the number of handsome men you've seen, or met, who have a cleft chin. Would you consider that a deformity?<<
Oooh, oooh. I think D2 is onto something. I wonder if Ryder meant "cleft" in the sense of a "cleft chin" rather than a complete split, as in a harelip (so called because, guess what, rabbits really *do* have a cleft lip). Meanwhile, can anyone tell me if my idea (which follows - not about the cleft chin!) is insane? A long time ago I wound a two-colour warp. It's been sitting waiting to be warped for much longer than I care to admit, or can even remember. I've recently *finally* actually warped it into the loop. Needless to say, over time the warp got tangled even just sitting there (I read an amusing article at the end of last year that talks about the physics of why this happens in relation to why Christmas-tree light strings always go into the box neatly and come out a mess). For whatever reason, one colour was more tangled and troublesome than the other. So the problem is, the more-tangled warp wound on noticeably, albeit slightly, tighter than the other one. I know that if I weave with it as is, I'll end up with something resembling seersucker. :-) My idea to fix this is - now it's all wound on - to UNwind it, chaining it as I go, and then REwind it, hopefully now evenly. Am I insane? Anyone got a better idea? It's primarily cotton, by the way. Grace (the *other* Grace on this list!) Grace L.
