who would have thought

that knitting would convert me into a sampler?as much as i dislike sampling and the fact of not knowing what to do with that insane number of thereofs,there's no choice.because how would you picture short rows accurately w/out sampling?

                                               

or the look of a two color maze?

now that i can stand up and spend some time
upright sampling for a skirt fabric is  finally
happening. nice 100 tex wool, a dream to knit.

auditing and prepping

the only thing i miss about my place in barcelona is the sienna wall where i hung the dyed skeins of yarn.
 now that i can walk and climb stairs i am prepping these silk skeins with agar agar to make them warp possible.they have all been dyed with natural dyes during the past years.dyes include carrot tops,cochineal, boiled chestnut water, kakishibu, brazilwood and not in the picture, murasaki and pomegranate .
there's going to be color in the next weaving project.

sitting means stitching

created pulled thread eyelets to reinforce the reversed boro idea.

want to explore this concept further.
