on weaving

for over two years the warp has been silently and patiently waiting its turn to be acted on. machine knitting was taking precedence over it. weaving is a multi process, slow and painstaking, and it requiers concentration and willpower. however, concentration as well as reading comprehension have been covid  casualties imo.

so between heat waves when too much movement is a no-no the preliminaries of the weaving event become relevant. one sits and designs, sits and threads, sits and reeds.

i have also become aware that once a kamikaze weaver, always a kamikaze weaver. still learning to warp sectional yet, instead of using heavier threads until i get the hang of the technicalities, i am still using my frog hair yarns  ¯\ ( ツ) /¯

i have also postponed the stress of having to deal with the loom electronics. that would have triggered ugly actions and thoughts during covid. the combination of old laptop, old program and serial port adaptor are killers. i'll eventually get to that and i always-knock on wood-get it up and running but this is like a.a. one day at a time.
