This Book
I ‘discovered’ Joanna Johnson because she does short videos and they appear on the ‘reels’ on Facebook. I watched one, and began to watch others. Recently I found out that she has written a book and out of curiosity I ordered a copy. It arrived this week and I thumbed through it. It’s a…

Snowflake
I made it to the halfway point of the 2nd scarf today. The photo doesn’t really do the colour justice. The grey is shiny, more like metal. Silver. Or steel. The opposite side of the cloth is a ‘negative’ of this side – where the cloth is white, it’s grey and vice versa. Part…

Good Idea
old photo of some of my silk stash Sometimes I get a ‘good idea’, mull it over, don’t see any down sides and then proceed with it. And it doesn’t turn out the way I would like. When I have minimal numbers of spoons for each day, I have little in the way of…

Driver’s Manual
I get it. People are interested in weaving. So they buy a loom and then…ask for a ‘manual’ for the type of loom they bought – usually second (or more) hand loom. Sometimes they know so little they don’t even know if the loom is complete. Or they wonder which brand it is –…

Life’s GPS
6 shaft 4 block Bronson Lace One of my favourite weave structures to design with is Bronson Lace. Yesterday I worked on the article for WEFT (no this isn’t a draft from the article) and was reminded how neat, how tidy the weave structure is. And how much freedom I have because I know…

Carrots. Sticks.
if life were easy… Anyone following this blog for any time will be aware that I’ve managed to stumble through a bunch of health issues. If it was ‘easy’, everyone would be doing it? Anyway, it has NOT been ‘easy’, and I’m a long way away from being fully functional. However, as the neurosurgeon…

Avalanche
I had to take this photo at an angle in order to show up the motif. White on white is very difficult to photograph, but I think this turned out ok. This is the same threading I used for the last warp (tea towels with the highly energized/twisted weft) and I thought it was…

Roller Coaster (CW – health issues)
Even as (some) things get ‘better’, (some) things get ‘worse’. So hey, I’m still here. I’m not doing much right now, though. My body seems to hate me, although in reality it is just complaining. Mostly about how many times I ‘pushed through’ whatever it was I was dealing with at the time. ‘Rode…
