Great Big Number
Well, I made it. Wasn’t sure I would, for a while. But Life is Like That. We awoke to a nice sunny day. And no, we have no plans to ‘celebrate’. We don’t generally do that. Doug usually forgets his own birthday, never mind mine. And neither of us *needs* gifts. If…

Oops!
Two different qualities of cotton yarn I’m going to be weaving more samples for an article for WEFT, but to do that, I needed more of the 2/20 mercerized cotton from Brassard. I placed the order before the Canada Day holiday, and waited for the invoice (which arrived a couple days after I ordered),…

Birthday Musings
The past 10 months or so has been…interesting. As of August 28, it will be one year since I fell and almost died. The past 10 months have been a roller coaster ride that I never wished for but found myself on, anyway. Which is sort of how ‘life’ works. You make plans and…

New Tech
digital cover of Issue 2 I recently updated Windows with the help of a friend, and I’m still discovering new ways Windows doesn’t work like it used to do. :P~ However, here is the cover of the next copy of WEFT. Yes, I have a small contribution in it. 😀 I got the 2nd issue…

Holding On
This is the walkway I used to walk in the ‘before times’. I would turn the corner and there would be the row of rose bushes, burdened with blossoms. A sight for sore eyes – and soul – every time. Gone now, but never forgotten. A memory I cling to as the world wobbles.…

Explanations
new design in progress This is the beginning of my working on a ‘new’ design, since the current warp is coming along nicely and should be off before my yarn order arrives. I’ve had several conversations lately that were not about exactly the same thing, but kind of revolved around the same topic –…

Canada Day
The photo is one of the tea towels currently on sale at my ko-fi shop. It is one of the new designs, made this spring and it is based on the Swedish Snowflake design, which I reworked several times to give different looks/feels. These ones are 100% cotton. I also have some cotton warp/linen…

Book Review
I wound up fairly high on the request list at the library and started reading Guy Gavriel Kay’s latest book last night. I’ve been ‘following’ GGK for a while, now, and I think I’ve read every novel he’s written. I wait (not so patiently) for the next to be penned and published. I would…

Writing A Book
Magic in the Water; wet finishing handwovens As a kid, I loved words, stories. I read voraciously and dreamt one day of writing, too. But I soon realized that I didn’t have stories to tell, as such. It wasn’t until I became a weaver that I realized that my stories were all weaving related.…

Step by Step
Yesterday I reached the 1/3 done stage of this warp. The web was cut off and the warp re-tied and I began again. I have not wet finished these yet, there are only 7 towels and that’s kind of a small load to run the washer/dryer so I’ll wait. I *may* do that after…
