It's a Not-Much-To-Report Saturday!

It's been a rather dull week on the fibery front. I still haven't hemmed the dishcloths I took off the Flip last weekend, I still haven't finished the bobbin of red colonial wool, I still haven't finished Li's scarf - but I've been working on the last two at least. I wound the merino/tencel on the niddy noddy so it's now ready to wash. Progress isn't obvious, so I didn't take pictures.

I finally got around to ordering an Ashford 5-dent heddle for my Harp, and it arrived today. I just tried it in the heddle blocks, and it fits perfectly - and it's white, not pink like the Ashford 5-dent heddle for the Flip (WHEW!). Maybe the colors are different according to heddle length as well as dent? I'm just glad it's not pink! :-)

I also learned this week that Kromski makes an extra-slow whorl for the Polonaise, so I ordered one of those, and a Schacht Mini Loom for fun.

I'm not sure what I'm going to get done this weekend. I went stash-diving this morning, and found a bunch of small fiber samples that I think I will do on the Polonaise next, as well as some 'Blueberry Sundae'-dyed merino that needs spinning too. We took the new car for a drive today since the sun is finally out, and picked up some of those tags with strings that I can put on my samples when I get them spun. I also realized that I completely forgot to do a record card for the merino/tencel and of course couldn't find a single index card in the house, so we picked up some of those too. I really need to hem those dishcloths, as I didn't secure the hems before taking the 'strip' off the loom (DOH!) - maybe I'll do that tomorrow, as DH is going to be gone for most of the day.

Perhaps I'll have pictures to post tomorrow, but don't hold your breath!
