the woeful scarf

is finally finished. took me quite a lot, but it's not bad.
the silk murasaki weft is a tad darker.

 warp is  silk dyed with natural dyes . weft as well + lavender cashmere.

behaving

the new to me lace carriage with all its natural quirkinesess is behaving ok. lace needs lots of weights and that is an understatement.the carriage needs to be moved at a fast pace or else needles get stuck while doing the transfers. it also needs to be pressed down slightly. all of this counting that the sponge bar is pristine.
it takes patience and skill.but then again sennet says it takes 100hrs to become aquainted with a skill.

it works

 dream come true as envisioned. just had to buy the  trolley. wheel it out to the terrace and open the tap;dye liquid directly out and into the drain then hose the vat. dyeing has never been easier.
life is good.

there were fireworks last night, very enjoyable.did i say life was good?
