I did manage to get another loom dressed in time for the New Year.
This is the little Leclerc Dorothy 4 harness table loom dressed in pure Italian silk for a Pinwheel pattern. It will be a learning experience for me, for sure. I'm not really sure how to "properly" carry the yarns up the selvedge. I'm also not sure if I should have done the beginning hemstitching in black, before throwing the first few picks of the pattern in white? I kind of wish now that I had, though I'm not taking it out now.

This looks great! I love your plan to dress all the looms. I only have 2 looms these days...a 4 shaft Baby Wolf and an 8 shaft Mountain table loom, but I'm working on getting both warped t OO. ChelleC
Chelle, in addition to the Leclerc Dorothy (4 shaft table loom), Saori CH60 (2 shaft floor loom), Woolhouse Tools Carolyn (4 shaft table loom), and Ashford Inkle loom that I dressed specifically to make my New Years Eve goal, I also have 2 other looms that already had warps on them. One is a Ashford Sample-It (rigid heddle loom) and the other is a tiny little Windhaven Ukulele (Inkle loom). Both of those have "dog" warps on them right now (warps that are not being worked on because my tastes and ambitions have changed. I need to redress them with something more inspiring, but for the purposes of my challenge I deemed them "dressed" for now.
