We had a huge thunder/lightning storm last night. Cracks of lightning felt like they were directly overhead - close enough the house shook from the special effects. Eventually we lost tv/internet although not electricity, thankfully.
We read for a while, then I decided that - since I was officially over the half way mark on the current tea towel warp - I would work on the draft for the next pink warp. It felt fitting that some 'roses' would be in order.
The first part of the warp will be treadled with an advancing progression - until all of the cotton/linen pink slub is used up - and then in this as drawn in progression using some of the fine linen in my stash. I don't know that I will be able to sell that many pink tea towels, but...the yarn has to be used up, so...
As for the trial balloon...
Over the weekend we talked about the Olds College program, specifically the master weaver class. Olds is a small community college, interested in outreach and as such has had satellite classes of their master spinning program. I know they are interested in doing the same for weaving.
It might be possible to have the first two levels of the weaving program here in Prince George. If so, is anyone interested in coming here? In order to convince the college to try this, it would help if I could say that 8 (or more) people are interested. So far the people who have expressed an interest have asked for it to be held in the autumn. They would do the program in Olds except June is not good timing for them due to work, etc.
If anyone is interested, email me laura at laurafry dot com
