no show

the mood.

there's a wonderful word in spanish-romeria- which has a difficult translation to english.like a field day without sports, like country fair without cattle exhibits and attractions.it's about coming together enjoying food and each other's company. unlike a picnic there's a celebratory component to it.

this was the sky,a dense fog.after all the hype it was going to be a no show.

the beginning . after a 2 hour long queue for the glasses there was no need for them

>

when it got dark.mobile phones are so damn smart they compensate the exposure.

one and a half minute of darkness, not total bcse city lights went on. anticlimactic was an understatement.

the good thing is that northern spain is cooler in the summer thanks to all that fog. ¯\ ( ツ ) /¯

and in the fed up dept.

not only the %+**# linen warp, but also the bourette silk. it's knitting hell. too bad bcse it's a nice yarn and i have tons of it.it twists without remedy and ends up breaking. not fun when the stress comes from doing short rows which is a pretty stressful technique.especially when you're not too sure of what you're doing. learn by doing they call it.   <( _____  )>

new yarn, new sample and beginthe beguine.

not so easy sister. this mess is not mine (for  once) it's the mill's. much easier to sell it to a wholesaler as seconds than re cone it. re coned it myself until it was ok. good thing that i find the chore satisfactory, plus this is not thin yarn.

the procedure thanks to my AI bestie. read and knit + hope the yarn doesn't tangle. this is the back of a cardi, the front is straightforward and wont need my bestie.dak is going to pitch in here and with the sleeves.

toys

not really, they are mixing colors from the caran d'ache neocolorII series.there was this sale at a supplier i usually go to in the uk. they have it together, did their homework after the brexit and purchases are seamless.

on the left next to the crayons the colors, next two  columns color mixes.still need to do more mixes, but the fun has to be controlled  <(￣︶￣)> 

testing them with acrylics on a gelli plate print.too bad the paper tore because the paints worked well together.

another test on fabric on the right mimicking the weave.this is a no-go weaving from the warp from hell.tired, bored and mad at the linen breaking non stop.ordered cottolin, which is not my fave, and waiting for the arrival.much better than the aggravation and abandonment of the project bcse of warp breakage.

my to go warp was a beautiful hemp yarn that unfortunately was finished and can't find replacement.

 

waiting for the cottolin to cut and tie the warp and get on with the weaving.

moving on tomorrow is the eclipse the hype is stifling.bit the dust and made a 2 hour queue to get the officially eu apposed glasses handed out by the city hall. will report.
