Honey combs and color variations

I finally got the tie on done...sort of. It was still a little wonky but I said the hell with it. This is a learning piece anyway. I could have fiddled with it for days. The warp was doing some weird stuff after I started weaving too. When I put the heddle in the up position, the bottom warp was all loose. After I started working the pattern with the pick up stick, it started to normal out some.
This honey comb pattern is really fun. I love watching it take shape. I'm using a single ply funky cotton for the weft. It has like an uneven spin. I love purple and green together. Orange too. Big fan of the "secondaries" I guess.
