Yes,...I love your summary at the end of this post. Yes, it may take the same amount of time to wind a new warp as to save the 'failed' one, but if we don't choose how we spend our all-too-limited time here, then what are we saying/doing/thinking about our lives? Let us make the choices. It is, after all, just string.Peg Cherrehttp://www.secondwindjewelry.com/jewelry-weaving-blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-85628977508102710672018-07-23T22:27:41.858-07:002018-07-23T22:27:41.858-07:00I also make 'custom' rolags, spin and knit...I also make 'custom' rolags, spin and knit. It's all part of the process. Spinning and knitting is something I do purely for my own enjoyment. :)Laura Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599868570350256631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-63639212513397546022018-07-23T18:45:17.475-07:002018-07-23T18:45:17.475-07:00If you create slow fabric, then I'm even farth...If you create slow fabric, then I'm even farther down the chain - washing, combing and spinning your raw material (or mine, but you get the analogy). And you know what? I don't care. I love the process so much, that that is the reward and the entire point. Time is important as our allotted amount for this lifetime ticks away. We're each of us refining how we chose to use it. Good on you for find your way!<br /><br />Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809546303562476065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-51433513232428175842018-07-22T13:15:26.858-07:002018-07-22T13:15:26.858-07:00I always loved looking at historic textiles and de...I always loved looking at historic textiles and determining their age. The age of the garment and the age of the fabric are two entirely different things. When one bought cloth to bring to a tailor, the cloth was the most expensibe part of the garment and was remade several times. Not only by the "poor", but seen even more in expensive silks and high fasion fabrics. Special care was taken and additional seams added to use as much of the fabric as possible. <br /><br />The labour that goes into the creation of fabric was highly valued in antiquity. I'm slowly trying to remind myself that my labour is more important than $5 worth of string. Somedays it's hard!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605045586285660013noreply@blogger.com
