Smells like bananas

In anticipation of creating my first indigo vat, I purchased some past-their-prime bananas. I also ordered a 5-gallon pot to create the indigo vats in, as I may want to dye large things like curtains. The pot I ordered from Atlas Restaurant Supply, which has a local outlet. While awaiting its arrival, the bananas continue to ripen. If fruit flies appear, the bananas will go into the freezer.

Dyeing: See above; I am all caught up on the video lessons.
Knitting: The socks are done but for the weaving of the ends. I started a dishrag to have something quick and easy to knit during zoom presentations.

(Yes, I am reading Dangerous, Dirty, Violent, and Young, but not while knitting. For that, I am listening to Judy Blume's biography, having finished Horseman, Pass By.)

I sat through a Weaving with Color zoom session from the Austin guild this past week. The presenter is a Texas transplant who lives here now. I was already familiar with most of the samples she presented, but I'm curious about some of the looms she uses and what she makes with them.

My SO and I attended the opening of a new exhibit at a local gallery this past week. While there, I chatted up a weaving guild cohort who mentioned a tapestry loom she may want to get rid of one of these days, one that has a pedal-driven shedding mechanism. That piqued my interest.

So am I now going to become a collector of looms?
