end of the month

time flies when you’re having (fun) – getting older!

when time and opportunities are slipping away never to return

so much to experience, so much to learn

and on that note, I’ve decided that back strap weaving is taking too much of that precious time

the month started with a new rigid heddle – 12 epi

definitely not my favorite tool

and a colour and weave warp

the white is 2/8 cotton and coloured is 4/8 cotton

what was I thinking – “keep it simple” would have been more appropriate

and after some not very happy weaving ended with this

I’m not keen on producing rather ugly, useless scraps

but I have learned something

and a nice surprise is that it didn’t bother my back like I thought it might

a least the tea towels started in early Dec. are finally finished

they were intended to be companions to the red towels woven in the same 8 harness advancing twill

Christmas-y – just a couple of months late

with the floor loom naked, again I’ve developed a bad case of shifu-itis

what to weave with this precious yarn?

different weights, papers and colours

taking my time to come up with a plan

happy to say good-bye to a cold and snowy February
