Next Warp
Sorry about the out of focus picture. It looked fine on the camera screen and in the thumbnail, not so much here. 🙁 However the point is to see the colours, which at least do show. From this bin I will be making up a warp for sample #2 for AGY:L&H (and a little cotton,…

#3 scarf on this warp – the colours are pretty true on my monitor Reading through Quiet there is a section on how introverts learn as compared to extroverts – how much – or little – stimulation each needs in order to learn well.
