Doctor Who Scarf Update

26/1/2023

Warping a loom and weaving is not always the easiest thing... mostly the warping. Things can and will go wrong sometimes, especially if you are as new to it as I am!
I thought I had the warp correctly applied to the loom, only to learn that I was wrong. I had to unweave a nice chunk of the scarf to fix the warp and then start over again. Thankfully, I have an amazing friend, Annette, who is helping me to learn this wonderful craft. 
She was even trying to explain a color change technique that meant I would not have to cut threads on the more minor changes, and the words were not making sense. I'm a visual learner for things like this. She was telling Molly, a wonderful woman who is also a guild member, and Molly made a little video for me! I am using the technique.
So here are some photos, including those showing the warp messed up.

The loom is warped.

Hmmm, something is not right.
Picture
Well crude. Need to determine what happened here.
Picture
Not sure if this is just due to the dropped warp thread or if one is also crossed. *growl grumble*
Picture
Dang it. The thread is supposed to be through the eye of the heddle, not below it.
Picture
Replaced the heddle around the one dropped thread. Pulled the warp back through the front and rewrapped it on the back beam before reattaching it to the front beam. Looks like the dropped thread was the entire issue. Woohoo.
Picture
First small section with color changes.

Next section with color changes and it's still looking good.
Picture
Moving right along. Weeeeeeee

This shows where I left off a couple days ago. Been having some issues with exhaustion. I will be back at it today though.
