  • Onwards I Go

    Onwards I Go

    I think I’m over the half way mark on this 30 yard warp.  As soon as I finish the towel I’m in the middle of weaving, I’ll cut off what I have woven and see how many towels are on the beam.  And then I’ll have a better idea of how much of this warp…

  • The Runner Stumbles

    The Runner Stumbles

    Since arriving home from the coast I had been steadily making good progress and not even working terribly hard at getting what needed doing, done. And then I caught Doug’s nasty virus.  With just days to go before the Big Project!  So I have eased off somewhat, taking things a bit ‘easy’ (or easier than…

  • Round Tuits and Re-organization

    Round Tuits and Re-organization

    I have been procrastinating about getting the rubble removed from the part of the studio that needed to be cleaned up.  However, this morning a friend with a ’round tuit’ arrived to help! Between the three of us (she brought another pair of arms and legs to help physically remove the boxes) cleared away the…

  • Irrepressible

    Irrepressible

    showing both sides of the cloth – one side more orange, the other, not so much close up Finally got started weaving the warp on the AVL yesterday.  The colours aren’t to my taste particularly, but I think for those people who do like soft earthy palettes, these are looking pretty good. One thing about…

  • Quandry

    Quandry

    With just over two weeks until the Big Project things are going to start moving very quickly, very soon. So what did I do today?  Nothing. Well, hardly anything.  I did unpack, dealt with some email queries that had come in while I was away, visited with my mom because there won’t be much time…

  • Quietude

    Quietude

    This warm orange glow is another painted warp for scarves.  It is the last of the warps on hand, but I will be picking up three more and some custom dyed yarn for scarf weft on this trip.  Once the Big Project is over the priority will be to finish off the last of the…

  • Here We Go Again

    Here We Go Again

    There are 4 days left until I leave and a stack of stuff to do before I go.  Instead of doing them, I’m getting another painted warp ready to weave. Well, that’s not quite true – I have managed to whittle away at the stack of paperwork and we put more lipstick on the pig…
