Percolating
While other things take my conscious attention, ideas for the Next Big Project continue to percolate in the back of my mind.

Contingency Plans
Warp at about the half way mark – it’s slow going with needing a temple and trying to catch the weft loops that bubble up in the shed. However, I am at the half way mark! I’m doing four different weft colours and weaving them in rotation so that I have an equal number of…
