Even though the show was a huge success, I am relieved that it is over. I worked
very hard to get everything finished for it, and then the weekend itself was long.
It was exciting to get back to the studio and the things I wanted to do.
Here is the AVL warping wheel. After getting a demo from a fellow weaver a few weeks ago, and watching the AVL video about three times, I started putting a warp on.
Of course, I couldn't put a 'short' warp on........what is it they say? Go big or go home?
So I put 30 yards of Pima cotton on the Megado.
It was organized, and slick, and I loved it.
Warping the usual back to front, or front to back can occasionally be chaotic, to say the least.
It can be uneventful, but you never know. It can be a royal pain.
This. however, is LOVELY.
I am seriously considering getting sectional rakes to put on the David.
Upstairs, I am busy winding cones. That is a learning experience, too. Most of the time, they look pretty good, then you get one that looks like a 10 year old did it.
Yes, that would be me.
They are pretty though, aren't they???

I recently suggested a movie to a very close friend, on Amazon prime, for only $3.59.
When she started watching it, she texted me, and said, "Are you sure about this movie?".
I told her to stick with it.
When she had finished the movie,
She sent me a long line of HEARTS.
It's a true story, and it's lovely.
So I started weaving on the Megado. I am having some computer issues with it, that I have not yet figured out. Some days, it recognizes the commands, and other days, I believe it is thumbing its virtual nose at me.
But when it works.....it's amazing.
That's what keeps me going.
I do love circles.
All my friends have heard me BITCHING about walking two dogs at the same time.
One pulling ahead, because he is younger, and faster. The other stopping behind me to smell
every single blade of grass that there is.
Today they made a liar of me.....and showed me just how pleasant they can
make our walks, if they want to.
So the week ahead looks like a quiet one, except for pie making on Wednesday,
and turkey day on Thursday.
Otherwise, I'll be weaving and walking, and waiting for cold weather, that seems
to have vanished entirely.
Later.......
