We have arrived at the other side of the continent just in time to miss that eclipse, darn it. The good news? Our church is still standing and looking fine! The even better news? It is summer in Upper Cape. That means sunshine, swimming, good food, and good company. As I did last year, this blog turns into church rehab updates [...]
Summertime and the weaving is a little scant. But the travel and inspiration are at a peak. Travel is a great way to be reinvigorated. Here are just a few updates from the road. I hit the road first to attend this summer's biannual ANWG conference in Victoria, BC. Vancouver Island was gorgeous - Butchart Gardens provides color and [...]
Spring has sprung, the blankets are done, and knitting is still number one. (Despite the image that leads this post.) Yes, I finished those blankets and I have a plan for the next phase of experimentation. I find myself between warps and interested in finishing a bunch of knitting projects. As I look back, I realize a lot has happened since [...]
I am nearing the finish of the rep weave yoga blanket mission I embarked on a couple of months ago. It has been a great journey - the interplay of color and materials, the best sett and technique for weaving, and the feel of the finished product when actually in use. My next leg of the journey will explore a [...]
I just looked back and noticed it has been almost four months since last I wrote. Springtime has arrived here in the Pacific Northwest and with it a fever of sorts. In my personal life, I have hurled myself into a new yoga practice and time with my daughter's young family (both of which I find invigorating and intensely interesting). [...]
but the colors inside are delightful - and I've really no place to train, so let it rain, let it rain, let it rain. I don't honestly mean that, but I cannot imagine I have any control over the weather, so I am turning on the lights and feeling thankful for being dry and warm. And the colors inside ARE [...]
A long time ago, I was lucky to get some very good advice (to paraphrase), "being busy is a good way to avoid looking hard at yourself and your relationships, to avoid peeling the onion." It has been a tough month and a half but we are climbing out the other side and I have some time to peel my fiber [...]
I can now add antelope to my fauna sightings! (The antelope were on the rangeland grazing near cattle.) Our return journey was epic. We drove for 5 days and crossed the continent, checking off time zones and provinces (3)/states (10) along the way. At times it felt a bit grueling but really we had a lovely time. The temperatures were [...]
We saw a moose!!! Moose are the big driving danger here and the subject of many cautionary tales. I did some research and they are a) hard to see especially at dusk, b) less reflective than most nocturnal animals, and c) so tall, they tend to wipe out the driver in an accident. We listened to the warnings and were [...]
This week just flew by! For those of you who are interested in our progress framing, Erik really cranked it out this week. Since I have no framing skills, I spent the week drawing our plans and spinning. Yep, the wheel is together and functioning. And we ate home-cooked dinners. What a relief to be done with road food. Even [...]
