chain gang

TAST week 22 resulted in a not very inspiring exercise.good to have it in my stitching vocab, but i honestly doubt that i'll be using it much. evidently it's not the stitch's fault, but the stitcher.
wasn't even inspired to add zing to the photo :(
tonight husband-san and i are meeting friends for dinner. hoping to be more inspired tomorrow.

yarn burning weekend

it was somewhat cooler during the weekend and i could work a bit in the studio. sampling lace knitting with the machine. amazing, had to change the sponge bar after less than  three weeks as it was melting into gunk again. who said it has been hot?

and a sort of deja vu revelation. one has to burn yarn, not cheap waste yarn, but the good ones you'll be using, in order to get to know the machine, the stitches and all the miscellany and what nots. just like i did with weaving.

kind of uncomfortable if you're into frugality.
