8epi * 8” +1 to end on avanti = 65 ends

Found that I had missed a dent about midspan. That is kind of causing a misspacing. Later I used the same treadling for two in a row and realized it some inches later. Could not figure out where until even later. Also found that a warp strand had broke at some point in time and I just kind of held that until it was woven back in. I am still getting the distortion across the front when I bring the work forward. I try to weave even closer but that does not seem to solve the problem entirely. The wood is a bit indented there as there is not a straight edge all the way across I don’t know if that is the problem.
