Some reading, some progress on my cardigan after yet another knitting break.
Unfortunately I went through these books much too fast and now I’m without fiction again. Continue reading “WIP Wednesday”

Weekend check-in
I’ve been floundering all week, too physically exhausted to do anything with my ideas and plans, not just painting the last bit of ceiling in my loft, but even knitting, doodling or weaving. But I guess it’s ok, once I’m done up there my muscles can recover and my mind will also have freed a few extra gears for new projects. It’s a good thing I didn’t know how long I’d be away from everything or I wouldn’t have started! In other words, I didn’t make very good of my threat to get messy yet.
Studio project 7
A little bit of progress since my last images 2 months ago. I was hoping to have made the first storage shelf this weekend, which is why I’d painted one end, but since it turns out that I’m not strong enough to paint a whole room in one session or even a quarter of it, I’m just going to keep doing every bit as the drywall goes up. And then I can get rid of the boardwalk, making it possible to paint the rest of the slanted ceiling without bending my neck out of proportion. Yes, I’m all about thinking in steps at the moment, what’s next, and next…
Tannenbaum
I never had an indoor tree in my own home, but since I’m hosting a dinner this year and the wall over my previous painting station was empty and boring, I did a late, desperate raid for ornaments at the supermarket, made a quick little xmas tree from an unfinished tapestry and voila, we too have decorations.
So once again, happy holidays to everyone from warm, sunny Denmark.
Show and Tell Week: Combining elements
This is one of the first pieces I wove on my rigid heddle loom, using handdyed sock yarn. Originally intended as a summer top (for cool days) or vest, I never got past the sewing stage although I’d tried it on once. And to be honest, it was a bit too narrow even 18 months ago when I was slimmer (seems like it was years and years ago that I started weaving!). As you can see I’d even cut a bit off the length to add to the sides, but nah! I took it apart and let it simmer.
