Thinking
View from the bottom of the loom to show the ‘right’ side of the cloth Yesterday was busy. I had a ‘bad’ night, didn’t sleep well, then slept ‘in’ so that it was a bit of a scramble to get set up for the next Zoom meeting. But that seemed to go well enough,…

Sunny Day
Today is more typical winter weather than we have been having lately. The temperature, the blue skies. It finally feels like ‘proper’ winter weather. Yesterday I spent much of the day dealing with setting up the second on line ‘study’ group. I have enough interest now that I think I will likely set up…

Onwards into the Future
I decided to make a few more place mats for several reasons. I had been having issues weaving on the Leclerc Fanny and stopped for a year. The physical issues I was having (long, looooooong story) appear to be somewhat resolved and I wanted to see if I could weave on that loom comfortably…

Expectations
Image of two different yarns. Long time readers will recognize the image as being of two yarns spun to the same number of yards per pound from cotton. Obviously quite different. Obviously will not behave the same. But because they have the same number of yards per pound, the expectation is that they will behave…
