getting ready

for this awesome 4 day weekend. nothing like catholic countries and their 1,000 virgins and 2,000 saints.

to make this textile related the tablecloth is marimekko  hulivili pattern by kristina isola, 1994.

how do i know that? marimekko prints the information on their selvedges.

ristina, by the way is  the daughter  of maija isola the famous textile designer.

and of selvedges now, rant ahead. i'm having a hard time renewing my subscription to the mag. their pay system is to say the least  is not very people friendly and the e-mails sent to them  are not answered.sigh! 

ps. around 150 threads and i'm done threading. 

today, believe it or not i'm devoting the whole day to setting up the hanging and preparing for shipping plan A. i will disclose as soon as i ship it, don't want to test the devil.

         nettle pages waiting to be stitched                         machine knitting wants

fun, and  pleasure.

always thought that after retiring i could do whatever i wanted because i was free of constraining duties.live and learn.
and christmas is 3 weeks away.....
ps: the weekend food drive for the foodbank in barcelona yielded 1400 tons.
