gardening news

we are frying and so are the plants. it hasnt rained in practically 2 months and there have been high temp spells, meaning 30`. right, the rest of spain is baking in the 40s, but this is the north. herbs and baby salad are in the kitchen inside where the have some morning sun and i do not forget to water them.

almost pulled out the kuke plants bcse they were looking sorry, but lo and behold one of them is putting out flowers which means kukes.

slow life

so incredibly thin 20 threads x cm + 2 cms sections= 40 threads x section. shigh. and it's a 32 section warp.sigh. slow and boring. i am against working with music  so as not to fall asleep on the job, playing some j pop to keep me awake. female singers usually sound like meowing cats. come to think of it women in japan sound like meowing cats　 ね！

found a you tube vid which has not only 

facilitated the task of sectional warping, 

but also has build my confidence. im a self taught warper and practically weaver.

a no brainer hack to prevent ronin threads keeping them confined in their place.

i use a warping board bcse i dont have the floor space for a spool rack, but presently am seriously considering ways to hang a spool rack on the wall.

this would shorten the warping times dramatically. thinking my brain dry especially since finding plastic spools on amazon. too much plastic in this post. ಠ ಠ  

and yet one more hack. the two yarn cones on the floor get threaded though the plastic mesh then through the warping palette and on to the board.

if you-ve developed a system please do chime in.
