Yes, they make an even stickier yarn

ursulas_alcoveI got my hour in this morning of weaving on the triangle loom. I tabled the Lorna's Laces for the moment. I'm tired of looking at it. I grabbed a Prisma mohair, paired with a hand dyed superwash in a chestnut shade. They are very similar in color to the Lorna. The Prisma is thicker. It also grabs everything as you weave with it. Lorna was easy to unweave compared to just weaving with this stuff. As the two sides get closer, it won't be as bad. For now, it's fighting me. I'm estimating a week to get this one done, doing an hour a day.
After eating, bathing my husband, and doing dishes, I was able to spend some time with the rigid heddle. I warped to one edge and got the shuttles wound. Yarn is cut to finish up warping tomorrow.
In order to switch over to my winingas project and finish it, I need empty spools to wind some of the warp onto. This is because I made a mistake with the sett. I am adding stripes because I ran short of hand-dyed madder thread. The stripes (warp) are not in the paper on the beam. I am gerry-rigging it by winding each new warp strand onto an empty spool of thread. I have a lot of almost empty spools. I need 22 more to finish warping the big loom. I'm like 10 spools short. The idea is to quilt with my almost empty spools to free them up for the big loom. I hope that makes sense.
With the weather getting rainy and then turning to snow by morning, having a quilt on the lap is just lovely. We are working on watching our library DVDs which are due tomorrow. My hope is to free up these two spools before returning the DVDs. I'm binge watching Inspector Lewis, season 8. I have seen it before but my husband hasn't. We may have 1"-3" of snow by morning so I switched the rake for the snow shovel on the porch.
I am using larger pieces on the backside of the quilt. Mostly, the fabric was annoying me. My bench from Ian the Joiner wasn't closing because the pink quilt and the fabric was too much. I grabbed that one to work on tonight. After weaving with all that brown and green, I wanted a cheerful color to work with tonight.
And now it's time to bid you a good night. December already. Where does the time go?
