the immobile chains

chains
Guess i'll start with a yarn porn photo and then gripe.i'm threading a dummy warp to save on precious yarn.1200 threads.This is never going to end. Then i'll tie on the chains to the dummy warp.Not fun.Guess who is the dummy.
After this weaving will be as they say here singing while sewing. Although this is going to be quite a week with the Christmas cake production to be held at a friend's house. Just now my oven had to go KAPUT.
Here's the tieup for Oelsner's 8887 crepe, downloaded from the handweavers net, but woven double width.

8887 oelsner i'm concentrating on the sewing a top with 3/4 sleeves and a rolled collar.Very 1950s!

virtuously gorgeous

shoesies
i should be ashamed. Found this pair of shoes which i had bought last year in their box still unused.
Seems that i keep a shoe stash too. To ease my shameless shame allow me to tell you they are from South East Asia, hand embroidered and fair trade commerce from Oxfam. Aren't they a gorgeous pair of goody two shoes ? In the original virtuous meaning :)
They will spice up black leggings and a black turtleneck sweater tonight.Going out for the regular end of the week wine glass with husband-san.
Have a great weekend!
