Time management has never been my forte, so I have learned to keep a calendar and make lots of lists. The napkin challenge is looming and I count 10 weeks until I need just ONE handwoven napkin for lunch. With that in mind, I spent a couple of hours on Monday reacquainting myself with my serger. My plan is to do a warp of napkins (I have my pattern in mind already) and hem them with the serger. Getting the edges just the way I want them is going to take some practice.
Another deadline looming is the wedding of a precious friend at the end of May. Since I wanted a neutral handwoven place mat, I pulled out the huck lace pattern from Handwoven. This was adjusted for use with the thicker cotton from Bernat.
And, if you're going to do a set of 4 for a gift, why not put on a longer warp for the Fall sales, right??? This warp is 13 yards. I have 3 more inches to wind, and it will be ready to go to the loom.
This is the reason all my plans came to a screeching halt!
This 35 pound container of kitty litter fell off the grocery cart yesterday.....on my toes! Nothing broken....just bruised. Thank heavens I had on my Keens and not my Birks!
A really nice young man insisted on carrying the bucket to my car, and kept asking if I was sure I was OK.
Yes, I'm OK.....just sore and not moving so fast anymore.
I guess I need to go sit on a porch and just weave on my Inkle loom.......
Get ready, Tina.....you're going to have company!
Happy Weaving!
