Colourful
Yesterday Doug got the pressing done and this morning brought home the scarves. They still need to be trimmed and tagged before they are ‘ready’. I also want to carefully examine them and decide which weft I will concentrate on using. Of course the one I like best so far is the finest weft (Bambu…

Another Job List
With so many deadlines looming (pun definitely intended!) I decided I’d better get myself on a more productive track and the way to do that was to make an obtainable (hopefully!) list of tasks to accomplish each day. I’m pleased to say that I actually achieved completion of yesterday’s to-be-done list, and even a tiny…

Springing Forward
F first 3 scarves from the finer of the two yarns, fringe twisted and ready to be wet finished close up of two of the scarves…the gold is one scarf, the teal/plum/pink is a second – this warp was threaded in an extended Wall of Troy twill I have slowly been getting the fringe twisting…

Those Old Deadlines
Asked Doug to mail a couple of parcels for me today and was shocked at how expensive mail to the UK now is. Since I’ll be travelling there next month I’ll bring some of my publications with me in hopes of selling a few along the way…if nothing else I can mail them within the…

That Old Magic in the Water
The colours in the photo are not quite ‘true’ as the greens look more yellow than they really are, but the good news is that the sleying error filled in quite nicely during wet finishing and these towels will not be relegated to ‘second’ status after all. 🙂 When something as simple as getting the…

Indulge me while I whine, just a little. This was the view from my studio window at around 5:30 this afternoon. Yes, it’s March. Almost half way through March, in fact. And not only is there still a huge stack of snow on the ground, more fell today. And continues to fall tonight. It is…

Announcement
Nearly done the third sample for A Good Yarn: Linen and Hemp. I ran out of bobbins just two bobbins shy of completing the weaving and since they need to ‘soak’ up some moisture decided to stop for lunch and finish packing the yarn for the trip on Friday. So close and yet so far!…
