Logistics
One of the things I had to do as a budding production weaver was learn how to estimate time required and plan out the best course in terms of actual production. I learned how to work in batches. How to set up my studio as best I could given the space constraints. Plan ahead…

Opening Doors
I think that if I could sum up my life in one sentence, it would be that I was constantly looking for the next door to open, then go through… Sometimes it would open, and sometimes it would close before I got through it. But always, always, there would be another door. Somewhere. One…

My Projects
My life has been filled with Big Projects. Some of them were financially successful. Others? Were not. But the Project itself felt…worthy… to me and so I invested my time (and in most cases $$$) getting them done. A few years back I encouraged Kerstin Fröberg to translate her monograph to English and add…

A Day of Leisure (sort of)
Since I ran out of hemming, thanks to the hemming fairies, I needed some other hand work to do. I had left my knitting in Seattle but the Smoky Mountain Spinnery was just down the road, so I bought a circular needle and some ‘blank’ dyed yarn and set about knitting a shawlette. (For anyone…

Hubris
There is a certain amount of hubris associated with creative work. You have to have enough ego, confidence, what have you, to think other people will actually pay you for your endeavours.
