Studio Fair Day 2 Dawning
This is a view similar to the one I took yesterday but a little closer – and better colour because I brought my camera. The phone camera washes the colour out too much. I wasn’t happy with the placement of the mirror (which I ‘hid’ with some wool scarves) but it was about the best…

‘Tis The Season
One view of the booth at UNBC’s Artisans of the North last weekend…. I have mixed feelings about displaying my textiles. UNBC is a smaller show, mid-range quality rather than higher end pricing and as such the booth rental fee is very reasonable. In return you don’t get booth draping, though, so you can see…

Knitting
four knitted scarves Yes, there are four scarves here – there are two pink/purple scarves – one skein had a slightly darker purple than the other……. In one of her books Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (The Yarn Harlot) talks about knitting and patience. She points out that knitters are no more patient than any other person. It…

The Dangers of Distraction
Kerstin has been blogging about the dangers of distraction and not using one’s brain here: http://3.ly/kqh Today I found myself subject to the same sense of distraction while beaming another rayon chenille warp. I find I really do get much better tension if I use the warping valet, so even though they are just a…

Day Three and Over
The wall of Red (taken with the Blackberry – sorry) This photo is a bit more orange than real life – the orange-y scarf in the centre of the wall is actually a gold and faded blue. I realized that I had a lot – and by a lot I mean a lot – of…

Studio Fair
Left side of booth (mirror behind scarf rack) Right side of boothTook these pictures before they turned down the lights this morning. Still tweaking the booth some at this point, but not much. However, I may re-do it tomorrow. I went with a more boutique-y look – fewer things hung up, more things on the…
