Loved weaving this!

This was my first Gist kit, and a good challenge for me! I had a question about the tie-up, and my email to Gist about it was quickly and helpfully answered. When I ordered it, they were out of Robin and Dandelion, so I went with Dawn and Lemon instead. I only got four towels out of the warp, rather than five, but I accidentally wound it a bit short, and my beat on the first two wasn't as tight as it could've been, so I'm not bothered by only getting four towels. They feel great after washing and drying.
