Someone in the area has two rug looms she wants to sell. I'm currently rather frustrated with my 24" rigid heddle loom and (probably erroneously) think I would prefer a floor loom, even if it has just two harnesses. We've exchanged a couple of emails, but right now I am waiting to hear from her. Something tells me one my my weaving friends may have beat me to those looms, which is okay. He has become a hoarder of fiber equipment and is better suited to getting these looms up and running than I am. We'll see.
The idea of needing to find space for a floor loom has me rethinking how everything is arranged in my house. Also, I need to set up a work area for the indigo dyeing workshop. Initially, I thought the garage, but it will be hot out there this summer. The laundry room is cramped, but there is a utility sink there. I'll have to ponder all this to come up with a workable solution.
Knitting: About halfway up the legs of the socks; now listening to Horseman, Pass By, by Larry McMurtry.
Spinning: I took my spindle and some roving I wish I had not purchased to the Salomon Farm farmers market, to demonstrate; the roving is very pilly.
Weaving: I think I am going to re-tension the log cabin towels; otherwise, weaving them will be a HUGE pain.
The weaving guild had its last meeting of the year, so that has lightened my fiber obligation load a bit. I've been skipping informal fiber gatherings as well, because of the yard/garden; I feel both guilty and relieved by that decision. There are just not enough hours in the day or energy in this old body.
