Playing Hookey
The THUD you may have heard last week was me falling off the energy wagon. For the past couple of months I have been feeling more and more exhausted, which I attributed to a hectic travel/teaching schedule, poor sleep, what have you. May 4th, when the specialist confirmed my suspicions I felt myself teeter, and…

A Pressing Matter
I had every intention of threading the AVL today with the warp for the throws (afghans, whatever you call them) but realized that one of the piles threatening to topple over in the studio was the tea towels I’ve woven and that Karena has been diligently cutting apart ready to be wet finished. Decided that…

Next Towel Design
One of the challenges in photographing textiles is getting them in focus. This looked fine on the camera, but I suspect it’s blurry. OTOH, the design is blurred anyway, so it’s really hard to tell. :} This is the same threading/treadling as the first design, but I’ve changed the tie up from twill blocks to…

Busy Day
Today was my usual brunch and errand day with mom. Not too many errands, but we did go to the library and I got another big bag of books. Not sure why when I haven’t been having much time to read the past few days. And with travel preparations needing to be done, doubt there…

Waves
in the cloth, and for saying ‘goodbye’ for a while. 🙂 In this photo you can just see the hem area at the bottom as it is rolling around the beam, and then a faint undulation in the towel itself. I was anxious to have this warp ready to weave on before I left because…

Variations on a Theme
I revisited one of my earlier drafts, changing the tie up to create twill blocks. The twill blocks give a much bolder pattern so I’ll probably finish out the rest of this warp (maybe 8 more yards left?) using treadling variations with blocks. Today is a better day than the last couple of weeks. I’ve…

Stash Reducing
Finished the last of the doubled fine cotton warp tonight. I could have woven on this warp for a long time, partly because I still have so much more stash that would have been perfect as weft on it, partly because it was just so dern purty. :^) But all good things come to an…
