I think perhaps I should write my weekly blog on Mondays and not Sundays.....!! In other words, I forgot again yesterday....probably next week it will be moved on to Tuesday!! Anyway, back to the blog: I have had a really productive week. It's certainly the knock on effect of the summer weather. I always feel energised by the sun and of course I am making the most of being outside and dyeing - both fabric and fibre. My spinning wheel has been going pretty constantly. I have discovered that I can almost lie in the garden with eyes shut, and gently pedal away ... and hey presto! Another ball of yarn! I am really pleased I am building up my stash for the winter...... must be turning into a squirrel! I have also warped up the loom and am now on a roll weaving the second length towards The Coat. I think I shall probably line it, so I have started to paint some silk that I found in my cupboard. I think this should finish it off well but at this stage I've absolutely no idea whether or not I shall be able to make it! I keep being asked if I could do some weaving workshops (I've only been doing it myself for 5 months!!!) The trouble is, that to teach weaving it would be necessary to have another loom ....so .....I'm thinking......This afternoon two wonderful weaving hours in the garden ....... I have finally found my true passion
Awash with the most sublime colour!
