Sunny Weather

The current run of hot weather and no rain has made big changes to the daily round. Neither of the dogs like was king in midday so we have taken to walking them twice in teearly morning and once in  a very shady local wood. Twice incidentally has burst out with English bluebells in the last few days. But this morning we walked in Upton Nervet woods. Notable for meeting two lots of horses and riders. Jerry was struck with horror. You could see him thinking, they are large! As he hid behind me.

We have to be careful to garden early in the day and the garden is looking good. As are the auriculas.
I have started the cotton warp for a small tablecloth for the Guild exhibition in September. It will go on the Schacht.

About Me

I am weaver and - -. I dye my yarns with acid dyes, I paint my warps, put fabric collages and stencils on my weaving. I have three looms, a 12 inch wide, 12 shaft Meyer for demos and courses, a 30 inch Louet Kombo which is nominally portable but has a stand, two extra beams and a home-made device containing a fan reed. And last a 32 shaft Louet Megado which is computer controlled, has a sectional warp and a second warp beam and I am the proud owner of an AVL warping wheel which I love to bits and started by drilling holes in. I inserted a device for putting a cross in. I have just acquired an inkle loom and had a lesson from an expert so I can watch TV and weave at the same time. I am interested in weaving with silk mostly 60/2 although I do quite a bit with 90/2 silk. I also count myself as a bookbinder with a special interest in Coptic binding.
