Yes, here we are, not in the path of totality, but around 80%. I think the back yard will be the best place to view it this afternoon. Report to follow.
Meanwhile, here's yesterday's azalea report.
And on the 16-shaft dobby loom, the one I was trying to sell, I've gone back to work. For some reason I'm back in love with it again. The endless warp is still endless, but perhaps approaching partial totality. It's certainly calming to just sit down and throw the shuttle mindlessly back and forth.
Did you know that if you keep your phone in your pocket while you weave, the pedometer will count your weft picks as actual steps walked in your daily health report? True fact.
The draft is a faux huck on 16 shafts. Here's a little explanation. Straight threading. You can figure out the rest.
Odds and ends in the warp. Why the yellow selvedge on one side? Frankly, I don't remember. I wound that warp a long time ago. It had something to do with stash reduction, no doubt.
