    Reference Well, if you look at this picture it looks like I really haven’t done anything on the weaving front. But, that is not the case. After mending the broken warp thread and giving the warp a nice, deep conditioning, there was just no getting around it: my main problem was that the spacing of…

    Reference First, thank you all for your thoughts, concern, and prayers for my father. He says he is feeling fine, and he is looking much better (though just getting out of the hospital gown does wonders for that. Why do they pick a color for those things that washes out every skin color? Talk about…

    Reference Well, I had a different title and everything for this post back on Monday morning; but just as I was publishing the last entry, I got a phone call from my mother. Now, my mother never calls me unless something is up. She, in particular, doesn’t call me in the morning just to chat. It…

    Reference Well, this is now this . I just was not feeling this sock. It might just be the time of year, with wanting colors that remind me of spring rather than winter. In truth, I started this sock because it was there as I had finished Koi Pond socks and had no socks on…

    Reference Thanks to everyone for their responses and concern. I think I have the big loom cleaned up enough that things should be fine with it. The drum carder? I think will be ok. I am running some wool through it, hoping the wool will pick up anything that might have gotten into the teeth.…

    Sorry, no music today. Today’s entry was supposed to be brought to you by the letter P, for pants, which I have finished. However things have changed. This entry is still brought to you by the letter P; but now it is for pissed, which I very much am. This morning, as I was about…

    Or Nuno Reference Last weekend, I went to the Warped Weavers Guild meeting. I haven’t been to a meeting in a year because of the distance and scheduling conflicts. I dearly missed them, so when I was specifically invited to this meeting to celebrate my 40th with them (we will be celebrating my 40th all year!)…
