my friend blu-tack

if there is an essential that is blu-tack (of a thousand uses) whe i'm running short i tend to get anxious and run to the school supply store( yes, we still have them, no office depot around here) for a refill.

 i am using it  here to hack the spindle of the bobbin winder and adapt it to these silk bobbins which have small orifices.i first tape a useless needle from the knitting machine with gaffer tape and tighten it to the spindle. i have  a good supply of those,  no worries about that :(
i know i could buy a dedicated winder for those bobbins, but do i really need more stuff when i can solve it with a little tack and gaffer tape?





then put some blu-tack  on the needle shaft and push the bobbin towards it making a tight fit. i sometimes even put a bit in the
bobbin hole as it really has to sit put so that it winds correctly.
 you can also use a bamboo skewer if need be.

revived

according to merriman- webster : 

to bring (something)back into use or popularity.

to return to consciousness or life: to become active or flourishing again.

so here i am again weaving this project  which was started when it was still cool.

think i've gained new appreciation or a diffrent look on it as i'm not pressed for time and enjoying its slowness.

 after some time i have accomplished this much, but that's ok.
it's weaving, not sewing.
