Spirit Cloth

a long table and a short break

Well. I don't think I have ever had such a great surface to work on. 2 tables actually, end to end. I feel so organized. The rolly basket thingy was knocked together by my handy son.  I will set up one of the table looms at one end.

Not much cloth making today, a small start. I usually use a twined beginning, to space out the thread to where I want them.  But I knot the thread around the end  yarns to keep it from slipping . 

I have an impacted wisdom tooth so I am off to the dentist today. I will talk more about this tomorrow if all goes well .  I did just notice this though, and I really like it.

And I like this too.

a little weaving and a little old cloth

Dressing a regular loom is a bit complicated. There are many off loom alternatives like using a piece of cardboard and things like that. But one easy method is to adapt a small beading loom which can be picked up for a song in most craft stores. I have this very old one I used to get my beading badge in Girl Scouts. Ha!

I am just planning a few little journeys with an indigo warp before setting up my larger looms. I could just sit and stare at that blue all stretched out before me. Weaving makes long cloth. I know that there will be some Whispering about weaving.

Meanwhile, the flicker feather found its way onto some old cloth. Old cloth is a lot like old sky. It seems at home. There is some new cloth in there too. From T. Feels like home too.

no wind

   A damp still morning. Hard to believe it is almost October with all this green.

A new table and a new feather.
