Be honest.

I'm back, did you miss me???


Miss Puss says:
"Did someone send us flowers?"

 

 Heart be still.
Haven't received flowers in quite a while.  It poses all kinds of possibilities.

Do you love the Christmas bulb the flowers are in?

 Nope, no secret admirer.  Just the fine folks at the Woolery, in Frankfurt, Kentucky.
They are also online at www.woolery.com
Take a look, they have everything imaginable for the fiber artist.
They carry the Hip to Be Square, and the Walking on Sunshine Rag Rug Kit, and I am very grateful to them for their continued support.

 

For two days, the warp on my Leclerc Compact has been the job at hand.

There was a lot of winding spools, on my double ended bobbin winder.

I also use my Shakespeare line counter, so I know what I am doing.

 

No, I have not done anything to 'brighten' up this picture.

These are REALLY the colors.

 Yikes.   I outdid myself.

 

While I'm working,  there are some who are lounging, as near the heat as they can get.

 

 First I had to tie the new warp onto the old one.

480 threads.

It is a meditative experience.

Here it is all tied on.  Now for the fun part.

 

Did I say fun???

Here are the knots, being gently shaken through the heddles.

It really isn't that hard.  It's like everything else, you just do it a step at a time.

Twenty minutes later, we're in business.
Wow, these are sure going to brighten up someone's kitchen.
I have 25 yards of warp on the loom.   I think I will be ready for something tamer by the time I get to the end.

Tell me the truth.............are they too much???
