DOH!

I just realized - instead of taking the past two weeks off of crafting (mostly) because of my hand, I could have been spinning on the Liten Spindel! Since it's a quill wheel/charkha it shouldn't aggravate my hand the way 'regular' spinning does. I'm going to try it tonight. Tomorrow is Spinning Club, so I'll take the Pedal Pusher, but I'll also take the LS as I don't think it would be prudent to spin on the PP for a couple of hours yet.

I did 3 more repeats on the log cabin project - on this section though the left edge is drawing in oddly. I did discover the last two warps had somehow come loose from the warp beam; so I added a weight to one and tied the other to one of the knobs since I couldn't find any more weights. Luckily I'm almost out of warp so if I get going on it, it will be done soon. :-) I just need some motivation. I haven't even done the record-keeping that I need to do on the Bonhop before I take the cloth off the loom!

I hope to get back to crafting this week - perhaps Spin Club will get me motivated to get stuff done!

I have nothing...

Though it's not an excuse for not weaving, my hand has been bothering me still plus I've been feeling like I'm coming down with whatever has been going around - I spent the weekend in my La-z-boy watching very bad dinosaur movies (the Carnosaur movies? Those are AWFUL!) and Eureka (I miss that show - it's finally coming back on in July!).

Maybe I'll feel perkier this week and get lots done - we can only hope!

It's Springtime!

The crabapple is blooming like crazy...

As are the fruit trees...

So why the long face?
Oh yeah - because I got on a cleaning kick, so he didn't get his usual quota of laptime, poor baby.

That also means I didn't get much done in the crafty department. I did do some spinning on the Brown Sheep wool today. The Pedal Pusher isn't making as much noise as it was, though it still wobbles quite a bit. It seems to be working ok though. I'm having a serious carpal-tunnel flare-up and the spinning seems to aggravate it, so I'm going to have to be careful with spinning for awhile.

Today was so nice I decided to do a bit of weaving on the deck with the scent of the lilac bushes in the air. It was lovely, and breezy and cool enough to be not-very-buggy.

I'm close to the end of the warp already! I'm going to have to start thinking about how I'm going to finish it.

Tonight, I need to do some Bonhop stuff. I haven't taken the cloth off the loom yet as I need to do the record-keeping measurements first.

I haven't decided if this is going to be a spinning-oil-bottle bag, or an mp3 player bag - or both, if it's long enough (which it probably isn't). Sure was fun though!
