Feathers/Scales
A few years ago scientists began to put together the idea that birds were descended from dinosaurs and when you look at baby birds, there seems to be a definite resemblance! There are also similarities between feathers and scales. My next warp (once the one I just put on the loom is done) again uses…

Show #2, Day 1
Yesterday we arrived at the hall and got set up, heading home to deal with trick n treaters. This morning we arrived in time to finish ‘fluffing’ the booth, turn the lights on, get the till ready and generally say hello to some of the other exhibitors with whom we are friendly. Most of them…

The Learning Journey
Life, as they say, is a journey. So is learning. As always one to think ahead, plan ahead, I’m beginning to think beyond the current crop of deadlines. The next six months looks like this (for me) Craft fair/vendor hall for the Hospital Auxilliary conference in April. It won’t be very busy most of the…

Developing a Line

Engagement
This morning I commented on Facebook that one of the things I was bringing to the craft fair was my knitting. Someone objected that craftspeople who want to sell their things must not do such things because they must engage with their customers. Happens that I agree completely with that observation. I always take a…

Details
The colour of these shawls is more green than grey but apparently my ipad didn’t ‘read’ it that way. When I fringe twist, I don’t hemstitch on the loom. I just weave in ‘waste’ yarn to keep things in place until I can get the twisting done. After wet finishing, I then trim the frayed…

Work Flow
My dining room this morning. Foreground – last of the green shawls being fringe twisted. On chair – shawls ready for wet finishing. In bucket – four shawls to be fringe twisted. On bucket – stack of table runners needing to have their tags attached and pricing affixed. What is just out of sight on…
