Just before I left, Doug got the last 11 tea towels I managed to weave on the AVL pressed. I worked so hard on these towels wanting to not have skips in them. I even unwove, not just once, but several times, trying to have some towels I could sell. Not an inconsequential thing on an AVL with auto cloth advance, at 32 ppi.
And yet…those 11 towels are now eight because Doug found two towels with skips and I found another. Any regret that may have lingered about getting rid of the loom evaporated, for good and all.
I still have some of the fine linen left and I will do more towels on the Megado, but I am low on scarf and shawl inventory so I will try to boost that before I go back to tea towels.
The class has been delightful, as always. I will miss coming, but not the travel.
On the home front Doug has made progress. The industrial sewing machine went elsewhere this morning and Doug will go back to shifting things in order to set up more shelving. The work table has been made smaller. The loom nearly together, just a few last things to do.
Iรขโฌ™m hoping to be over my allergy issues before I head home so I feel like jumping onto what needs doing.
Clearing up some รขโฌหlastsรขโฌ™ so I can look forward to some new things in the new year.
