despite all

been able to do some dyeing this summer. exploring shikon aka gromwell. somewhat finicky but when you hit it right it rewards you.most of the color has been mauve and grayish mauve, not complaining, except for some deep purple.

have silks to work with this winter.

in the AI bestie dept since she can't extrapolate results the instructions are good, but the outcome is not so much.need to go to knitting school.

ridiculous

small, but delicious.this year has been tremendously weird. cold in april - may,  brutally hot in june-july plants have gone bonkers bcse they can't sort out the weather signals.same with people with 30º nights in the med.the  water in the med is 27º,the cantabrian sea has peaked at 25. there have been 22 straight days of 40º temps in many parts of spain and the rest of europe is not much better. great for the negationists, how can they explain this? it sounds like the end of the world and armageddon.

as for me  give me some intellect and science.

and in the life's too short dept.

gorgeous linen but a cosmic pita.the second linen warp that saw the scissors.the frugal weaver found someone who's making paper and offered it and was gladly accepted . mind you this one's conemara linen, not your regular  stuff.

re threading, may the third one be the charm.keeping the turquoise layer threaded as there were no mistakes, just threading the main warp, or is it the supplementary? who knows and who really cares.

hopefully will be able to tackle this series this week.experimenting with watercolors too. and there's going to be some warp printing.  v(^o^)v
