Now a serious attack on the mountain of handspun. I've warped the Wolf Pup with black 10/2 Tencel at 12 epi. I'm doing weft-predominant random stripes of handspun in 2/2 twill. Every time I change color, I change the twill direction. When I first started weaving, skatey-eight years ago, I admired the striped weaving of a mentor. She did these very same 2/2 twill stripes in the most gorgeous colors. I vowed that one day I would do the same. That day has come. These will be pillows.
Let's back up a bit. Before starting the day's weaving, we went out to the liquor store for fortifications (we were out of Scotch). Parked outside the store was a snappy red convertible, but what really got my attention was this adorable sock monkey hanging from the rearview mirror. I've known some really cute sock monkeys over the years, but this little guy must be the cutest ever. When we left the store, car and monkey were gone. I hope they're having a nice day, wherever they are. Top down, sun shining. Hurricane? What hurricane?
