leaving snowy New England for warm (if not always sunny) California
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
I did manage to finish latch hooking the rug I was working on – but didn’t manage the binding, or to get photos before I left for my flight at ass o’clock in the morning.
It’s been sunny & rainy, and warm & chilly, all in equal measures – and even after days of them, I’m still fascinated by palm trees, and delighting over lemon trees.
I have more photos than I know what to do with – and not much desire to sit in front of a computer or phone editing them. Photos of architecture, sculptures, fountains, plants, birds, lakes, lights, and about a hundred from the Lacis Textile Museum, which I’ll sort through and edit at some point or other.
And at some point soon, I’ll pick up some yarn & needles and start a new knitting project, maybe a lightweight sweater project – something small and lightweight, but with a substantial amount of knitting.
I love how plain weave fabric highlights the interaction between the warp and the weft
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.
I’ve begun contemplating possible sewing projects for this fabric, and am leaning towards something patchworky. So with this piece of fabric I stuck to long stretches of using only one yarn, as oppose to mixing colors all over the place. I figure, if I do end up doing something patchworky, then having the option of patches in a single colorway will be helpful.
I love how the plain weave fabric shows off the dye job, and highlights the color interactions between the warp and the weft.
Another four or five feet woven with this particular pile of yarn, and I still have 3 decent sized balls of yarn left…
It feels as though this is the never ending pile of yarn. I’m hoping against all hope that the next piece of cloth finishes the yarn, because this piece of cloth didn’t.
gobble, purple, gobble – and another week of weaving
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.
Just a quick little note, before I dive back into my day of trying to run a pile of errands, while still avoiding the crowds of New Yorkers rushing off the island for the holiday.
I warped the loom last Thursday, and have been spending a few minutes here, and a few minutes there working on the fabric itself.
It’s another plain weave fabric – playing around with colors. Tonight, I’m looking forward to a solid evening of weaving, before kicking off a weekend full of travel, and family, and food.
If you’re doing Thanksgiving tomorrow – gobble, gobble, Happy Thanksgiving!
If you’re not – have a brilliant Thursday and a wonderful weekend!
