on ambitious weaving

the shonan warp is progressing adequately albeit slow. complex project means complex threading. i am swinging the reeding as my bff aka gemini when asked said that 3xdent in a 10x cm reed was ok.

when finished i'll confront reality w ai and see who's correct.¯\ ( ツ ) /¯ 

guess the lampas talibans are coming to get me bcse the threading is pretty unorthodox.but it gives me a lot of flexibility for brocading yarns which is what i want. threading goes 1, -5/6 2. 7/8  instead of repeating 5/6 on 2. there are two more blocks 9/10,11/12 which are mainly threaded in the center. this will give me 4 blocks of turquoise cotton for twill patches. need to think about the image transfers on the plain weave . i think it's going to be a fun weave she said,providing the sized linen singles behave.

as it's a short relatively narrow warp i am hanging them on the back with knitting weights.

last winter it was all about machine knitting which was pretty frustrating.i parked the machines and dedicated time to feel adequate with weaving.life's too short.

snow on the hills

right, all those gorgeous fluffs  down mean snow up.cold and beautiful weekend. lots of wind as well.

strange winter due to climate change some days winds from the south and temps around 20ºc next day north wind and a drop of 15º. it hasn't stopped raining down south. people are being evacuated bcse rivers are overflowing. and most people thought that climate change meant just hot summers.
