Oct 9thsakit to sakaysay sa sakyot

utmost importance to have equal distribution of the sakyot across the new skirt laga (the weave) ~ teacher jenny shares that the sakyot divides the threads for a smoother weave. it took us about 2-3 attempts (sakit! the pain of struggle) to prepare the sakyot, redo a couple of times because of unequal measurements, it is a learning progress for me and a final sakyot done by teacher jenny, a total of ~2.5 hours. sakaysay ang sakyot, the sakyot combs and divide the threads of the laga required for a smooth weave

laga finally begins after the sakyot is in place, corrected many times with this novice weaver until each thread is of the same height, same level across the laga
