Took Esme out to town for breakfast, and library, chicken feed and grab groceries on the way home. We also stopped in a thrift store and she chose a small sweater with lots of cables on it - and I picked up another picture frame to do more experiments in weaving on, but this one I didn't want to go through all the wrist-breaking action of putting screws in it right now, so I warped it up as it was with a 'pull over' warp that can be woven twice the length of the frame if pulled over the top once the one side is woven. I've also been playing with the crochet techniques for the thread - although I'm using some 15-20 year old embroidery thread that we had bought on a closeout and I've never gotten to using too much of in the past.
I work again tomorrow, and Friday and Saturday and Sunday again after that. But it was nice to get out for a girl's morning again, to break up the sit at our screens all day that we otherwise end up getting sucked into.
Mark is making dinner with the groceries we bought, after installing his new printer parts and getting that working doing what he wanted again.
right now, the weaving is reminding me of this - a whale shark, but I'll get a little further up in a minute and start working on the red stripes - I really like this look, but I'm worried that the other grey yarn I have is not a perfect match, and I want to break it up a little with other colors so that doesn't matter quite so much
Notes : 7.5 inches wide, 4 inches gray (undetermined length, spare stash ball of yarn), 25 handwraps red to start next color
