🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺 Don't miss the wonderful tale <heh heh> of Wally, the rescued Tibetan mastiff, especially part 2/3rd way through when she removes Wally's pelt. Incredible!!
I wonder if it's the same for sheep, alpacas, llamas, goats, etc. What a great dog!
Yesterday I started knitting again after years of not knitting a single stitch. I forgot how much I love it. 😁🧶
All the stitches came back to me as soon as I picked the needles up again. I didn't have to look up how to do any of it, I guess it must be muscle memory. 👀 :knitting: :ablobcatknitsweats:
Back at the #TabletWeaving with organization colors, while I’m waiting for my bigger rigid heddle loom to be sorted out. I got new yarn that more closely matches the actual colors of the org now (although they aren’t coming through here) which is nice. But mostly it’s just nice to be weaving again. Fingers were getting antsy - this is my “productive fidget”.
We had the entire patio to ourselves 🙂
At Brown's Social in downtown #VictoriaBC with my friend, Natalie. She's a horticulturalist, living in Deep Cove. We had some eats & drinks before going across street for PechaKucha Night VOL. 20.
They played #GenX tunes, the whole time we were there. We lucked out on getting street parking, one block away. Then lucked out on empty patio, on arrival. We had our own fire table 🥰
I’m a bit stressed putting together my new Kromanski; it has text about voided warranty if the front and back are flipped. It doesn’t have nearly as clear instructions as the SampleIt did. Also, my right side heddle blocks’ little wooden nubs is not really going in. :-(
Can anyone tell if there’s anything obviously wrong so far? Also, on the Kromskis, is the logo generally on the front side or the back side? That might help me orient a bit.
My loom sits quietly but my robe now has life breathed into it and is a part of a bigger tapestry- one of community, strength, and uplifting culture. Check out KTOO for videos and the Juneau City Museum to see Ravenstail Robes on display! #handmade#fiberarts#weaving#alaskalife#dancers#looms
🧶 It's done! Yarn re-skeined on swift from ball I wound months ago, washed in Eucalan, dried thoroughly (it fluffed up, so nice!), re-wound just now into a ball.
Two days until the robe dances to life. Hard to imagine that yarn became this, and that my own hands wove it. Check out: Yéil Koowú at lilyhope.com or KTOO for more info on the ceremony. The event will be live streamed. #fiberarts#weaving#handmade#alaskalife#MastoArt#artwork
Decided I had enough clasped weft so now I'm learning how to use a pick up stick. Anyone got a favourite woodworker who makes them? (I know, I can use a ruler or something, but I really love pretty, well-made tools. And paying artists!)
I think … I’m very close to going ahead and getting a 32” walnut Kromski loom for myself as a graduation celebration. They’re so, so, pretty. @weaving#weaving.
