After picking bits of wool out of my lyre bridge again, I think, like Brian Boru, I'll leave the hairy side out. So I'm ready to make straps (and a tie) for the bag.
Guesstimating 24 cards, threaded in all holes. I want to try continuous warping, so I was limited by "what do I have 4 balls of?" and the answer was "grey and red." Threading alternate colors, so when I offset all the evens by a quarter-turn and then weave with the full pack, I should get diagonal stripes (if they're all threaded the same way) or chevrons (if I do half S and half Z). I think I want to do stripes, just because so much of my previous weaving has been diamonds or chevrons. Will it spiral into a helix? Probably!
My plan is to poke holes in the bag and thread the completed band through it in a continuous circuit to make "backpack" style straps. Won't have to worry about poking tiny holes for sewing, or having knotted straps pull through while I'm carrying it.
