on cowardice

been avoiding turning on the k machine and keeping myself busy with other projects albeit the want to knit. the reason is that the capacitors blew again and i changed them doing the whole soldering bit once more. having done it once and having seen the tech do it i feel more confident than the first time. but it was too hot to deal with frustration and i procrastinated till cooler times. now the time has come, but i haven't gathered the courage.

i want/need to change the turning on system; i would like to use the computer for that bypassing the circuit board and capacitors and using an arduino in between.this hack will do away with capacitors forever.no more blowing. 

i think it can be done , but i need either a tech or a set of good instructions.

there are some projects burning brain cells and i want to start working asap.

meanwhile the quest for a tech begins.again.
information appreciated.

sensei's fabrics. understated elegance.it takes a lot of will to weave one tan, the traditional bolt of kimono fabric measuring 36cms by 11mts.long.

i am progressing slowly and i'm not weaving a tan, just a mere 3-4 mts. 

upon examining i quit being a purist; it's ok for the industry to use ll kinds of starches and  warp dressings, why it shouldn't be ok for me?ditched the romance of the hand made and i am spraying the warp to my life's content with hairspray.

ergo the warp is behaving and i am weaving better.

Whatever it is you’re seeking won’t come in the form you’re expecting.
