Yesterday's rollout of Amalgamation: Double Your Dobby (see Monographs in sidebar) was a great success. Thanks to all who responded by email and expressed your support. I am overjoyed! I'm looking forward to seeing your amalgamated drafts and woven fabrics.
And I appreciate your patience during the inevitable glitches and failures of communication. I think we've got things (mostly) under control now. Back to the loom!
Meanwhile, I wanted to share with you some of my impressions of life during Stay-at-Home. Not surprisingly they include fiber-related themes, because, hey, that's me.
Everything's tangled, nothing's in a straight line.
It's hard to figure out the way forward.
Who is that scary person in the mirror first thing in the morning? She hasn't had a haircut since February...
It's nice to have a purpose. It adds focus. My main task is to feed the turtles this week while their humans are out of town. There's a bonus here. They have the most incredible patterning. You think you know stripes? Think again.
While waiting for a traffic light to change, I couldn't help noticing this cyclist. This guy is pattern-aware. Check it out: three, three different sizes of houndstooth checks in his raiment. And the socks!
(I kinda wish he'd had a facemask at the ready).
