Two Faced
Latest on the loom Continuing my quest to use up stash, some of it much older than I even know because ‘stash’, but I’m quite pleased with how this is looking on the loom so far. The ‘back’ is likely going to be the ‘face’ as this cloth is ‘unbalanced’ – in other words,…

Not A Myth (politics)
Alberta Storm Watch (group on Facebook) posted this photo of one of the fires burning right now. BC has seen it’s (un)fair share of out of control wildfires, but this year? Mother Nature is making a much bigger impact by burning up the 3 prairie provinces. You know, our bread basket? So far we…

Not All The Same
I’ve been answering questions for a long time, even when I only knew a ‘little’ bit, and I’ve seen many of the same questions – and assumptions – presented for a very long time. The additions to the weaving community tend to come in ‘waves’, and every few years I find myself addressing the…

Plus ca change…
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Kind of sums up things, really. I’ve been weaving a rather long time. From the 1980s to 2019, I wove on an AVL, which was a very particular kind of loom. When I got the Megado, I had to change the way I dealt…

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhereThe ceremony of innocence is drowned;The best lack all conviction, while the worstAre full of passionate intensity. W. B. Yeats I am no stranger to things falling apart at…

Next!
Still playing around with ‘snowflake’ twills. I kind of like this one, even though it’s pretty ‘simple’ for a ‘fancy’ twill. Since the fall last year, my brain has been constrained processing information, and several warps I wove through the winter wound up with threading errors in them. Most of them were not detected…
