Persistance
Last Monday I cut the beige/brown warp off the loom, then spent the next couple of days beaming, threading, sleying and tying on this warp. It’s now Monday again and 5 towels are woven, with about 13 or 14 left to do. (I also worked on the articles I’m researching/experimenting/writing.) Each warp does around…

Begin Again
It’s hard to get a photo of the towels on the loom because the ‘right’ side is on the underside. In the photo it looks like there is a change in colour, but that’s just the area where the light can shine through the warp, making it look lighter/brighter. I’m very pleased with this…

Instant Gratification
Well, sort of… I’ve been enjoying the (nearly) ‘instant’ gratification of weaving with thicker yarns AND using up more of my stash, especially that ‘mystery’ yarn. I don’t know how large/heavy the original cones were, but they were huge. It looks like when I finish the current warp there will be enough of the mystery…

Simple
Yesterday I shared this draft online, referring to it as ‘simple’. Several people commented that it didn’t look ‘simple’ (I paraphrase). But here’s the thing. You can make something ‘simple’ look ‘fancy’ – if you have enough shafts, and understand how the weave structure(s) work. If you look closely at the threading, you can…

Hunkering Down
This photo is from a few years ago, but shows some of the accumulation that we can expect as ‘normal’. The weather forecast for the next few days is…snow. I’m not particularly bothered by it because I don’t really need to leave the house for the next few days. After a flurry of activity…

More Inventory
shades of blue/grey with accents of pink/purple shades of beige including peach Just uploaded three more towels to my ko-fi shop. One of them is a towel I had listed previously, but still have some left – the cotton/hemp weft towels. The other two have never been listed in my shop before. I am…

Economies
Set up, ready for beaming Last week I was trying to get prepared for the days after the SI joint injection. I was nearing the end of the current warp, trying to figure out if I would/could get it done in time to beam the next warp before the injection. As the days counted…

Teenager
stack of towels, hot off the press One towel, back and front – similar but not the same I have a love/hate relationship with technology. For the past few years I have found work arounds for things that keep getting…improved…to the point of not working. So I have been taking photos with my iPad, then…
