Decisions
Back to the soy protein yarn, this time to use it up, once and for all! Unless I find more stashed away somewhere, although I am pretty sure this batch is the last of it. Whatever is left will go into my ‘good cause’ scarves that I knit in the evenings. Four warps of…

Here We Go Round Again
Assembly, Part II. And Done! All that is left now is to haul everything back down the stairs and over to the annex for storage. The guild room was somewhat cooler given the t-storm that rattled the rafters and the rain last night, but not by much. Although I should not complain – it was…

Rambling Thoughts
One of several bins full of the first half of the assembled project pages Today I worked some more on stapling the second half of the samples, sewed some more of the fringe on all four side samples, beamed a warp, spent way too much time on the computer and thought about how producing this…

Keeping On
I started by stapling 50 of each sample but realized I have more than 50 names on my contact list. Since I’m an optimist, I decided that I’d better begin with 75 copies (half) so I’ve been doing 25 more of each in preparation to assembling the sample pages next week. Hopefully Monday, although the…

Happy Place
With molehills masquerading as mountains this week, the hurdles I encountered as I set to work this morning turned into complete roadblocks and instead of doing something productive on A Good Yarn, I went to my ‘happy place’ and wove a scarf. Thankfully I’d dressed the loom last night including winding the bobbins so all…

One Step At A Time
Today I got the stapling ‘station’ set up and stapled 50 of one of the samples. And then realized as I was putting that bucket away that I’d forgotten to staple the yarn samples to the page, too. And then discovered that the yarn samples for the second sample I’d selected are not cut apart…

Four At Once
winding four ends at once… Winding four ends at once is definitely possible but I don’t find it particularly faster. Which would seem counter intuitive – if winding two ends at a time is twice as fast as winding one at a time, winding four ought to be four times faster, right? Welllllll. Possibly. What…

This and That
preparing the samples Today I stapled one set of each sample – of those that were ready – so that I could lay them out. To my mind the samples should be visually appealing but the sequence also needs to make some sort of technical sense as well. What I decided on was to lay…
