tension woes

after almost 90 cms. look at those extremely loose threads. 

to keep my tension levels down i have been away from this loom and walking like crazy. 15k+ steps daily. the good news is that i've lost some weight.

 finally have gathered enough courage to cut and re tension.

those 9cms are going to be a pouch, high class silk pouch  ಠ ಠ  

hoping i have enough for the projected scarf.

 going to join the ganbaru💪 club again  because i want to dye it with benibana during the summer and it is extremely slow weaving.

finally.la bella stagione

been awol and during this time the earth took another turn around the sun  with a low key celebration because of movement restrictions.

first clems of the year. this year we had 2 warm weeks in mid february and everything anticipated .

lots of early buds, then the cold returned and buds went sort of dormant then finally bloomed earlier than usual.

lettuce and rucula have provided salads. cherry tomatoes are growing well.

longer days give so much enery!
