  • A Little Introspection

    A Little Introspection

    Striped towel from a couple of years ago – which I’m thinking of revisiting in different colourways, different yarns… One of the things that has been providing some distraction for me is re-reading some of my older blog posts. I started the blog just about exactly 7 years ago (August 2008), partly as an expression…

    Mocha

    This past weekend was the guild sale/demo.  Unfortunately it was rather more quiet than hoped, but a few of my ‘discontinued’ items found new homes so that made me happy. On Sunday Doug went pressing and brought home the finished, finished, red tea towels plus a bucket full of the chocolate brown weft towels.  I…

    A Day Off

    It is rare that I take a day ‘off’.  Usually the reason I’m not working is because I’m too sick to get to the studio.  But yesterday I didn’t go to the studio at all.  I had massage in the morning and as usual she asked if I was going to take the rest of…
