nemesis

in case one is feeling full of oneself a session of gate peg bind off puts the universe in perspective.

（´＿｀）

after over the mythical 100 repeats i am feeling somewhat comfortable doing it. i also tried joining pieces on the machine and prefer it to mattress stitching them.

the cardi is going to wait for better days to be finished. the sleeves came out too narrow in the sleeve head so they dont fit well at the armhole. and this is a drop shoulder number.

some gain  some lose.

 have the full dose of💉 so that's another gain.

gardening relief

pretty pelargonium plant. last year i thought it was going so i cut it and replanted . it worked. next on the left is a newly bought andalusian jasmine (jasminus oficinalis) which is the one with the heavenly scent.hard to find now that the  asiatic(trachelospelmum) variety has inundated the garden centers.

good ol' lidl is a not fail.

 heucheras are  glorious this year, so are the hostas . it has been a cool  rainy spring so looking forward to lovely colors in the fall

the pleasure of an empty loom

spent all spring with this number. the silk was so thin that even doubled was thin. add some tension problems which lead to cutting and re beaming. warp is silk organzine  and the weft is a silk yarn

i bought in a shop in hachioji on my first trip to japan. it qualifies as vintage ＼（＾▽＾）／

but the outcome is splendid.

a chirimen wannabe crepe . waiting to be mordanted and dyed with safflower.

the f***up pieces will be dyed  processed and stamped,something will come out of them.waste not.
