half mark

no internet connection yesterday and so it was work, work, work. arrived at a little past half mark, 500 threads.

i treadle the threading and with such mega fine yarns i have to thread from the back because i cannot see them from the front.it is a bit clumsy to have the warp already wound in the back, but the good news is that there's less chance for picking the wrong order ergo less crossed threads!and by the same reason, it's very nice to have all threads wound and under control. having that mass of angel hair when warping from the front is stress inducing,although one gets used to it.

easing into the sewing. started with one of those long rectangular things i knitted with linen and turned into a shrug.it had been dyed in the last ai vat of the summer and was resting, waiting and hoping for the color to age and develop.i'm pleased with the outcome.

now if it only would stop raining. we're on the second straight week of non stop rain!

inching my way

centimetering, to be more precise.learning new movements and trying to get rid of old.

what i've found so far is that it takes less movements to thread from the back. correct me please if i'm wrong. also broken threads stay behind and are easier to repair. no floating film can gavotte.

let's see if i can also start with the sews.
